Compensation offered for vehicles damaged by SH1 chipseal

From Checkpoint, 6:07 pm on 12 December 2022

People are being encouraged to apply for compensation if their vehicles are damaged as a result of a shody chipseal job that broke-up and stuck to cars travelling along State Highway 1 north of Auckland at the weekend.

Waka Kotahi was due to start repairs on the stretch of highway near Dome Valley between Warkworth and Wellsford today. 

It says the seal originally laid by Fulton Hogan fell short of expectations and was compromised by weather conditions.
