Waka Kotahi warning of roadworks after weekend soaking

From Morning Report, 8:44 am on 28 November 2022

Waka Kotahi says there's more work ahead on Wellington's road network following the weekend's soaking.

Lane closures were needed on State Highway 59, near Porirua, and State Highway 2, near Melling in Lower Hutt, after slips on both roads yesterday morning.

The transport authority says that things "should be" back to normal for motorists today.

In the meantime, though, the contractors are in for a busy week as they look at what happened and at ways to avoid a repeat.

Waka Kotahi operations manager Mark Owen spoke to Guyon Espiner.
