Vince Cocurullo: Whangārei Mayor on the slip, closure, and subsequent delays in the Brynderwyns

Early Edition on Newstalk ZB

It’s unfortunate but hardly surprising.

Around 10km of highway through Northland's Brynderwyn Hills has been closed since February for repair work.

It had been due to reopen in a couple of weeks, but a slip has put paid to that.

Whangārei Mayor Vince Cocurullo told Mike Hosking that delays had to be expected.

He says around 40-thousand cubic metres of soil will now have to be moved, and it's currently moving as if it was sand.
