Why did they not do some test bores before they started building the road? The Council said that my neighbour had to have test bores into Waitemata sandstone for an ordinary house. Of course the sandstone was fine.

70 million@ 1km = tousend meter thats 70 tousend doller per meter of road. That road should last 50 years at that price but as we know it dont last 3 month just look at the hamilton huntly motorway. its just complete incompetent morons let loose on anything here.

so why does it cost double in a short periode of time if you go by that one should have a minimum wage of 120$ per h . https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2020/09/09/fixing-the-roads/ in the lockdown in march all road maintainace could have been done with close to 0 traffic on them. but thats not the interest as that dont lines the backpockets with $$ to cut cost and do work . its everywhere look at the friggen joke brendyrven 3 times they redone the north side and the south side was never done . You would have 4 tunnels thru it for the money . And now they start talking about a tunnel. auckland harbour same thing a tunnel like if the english can build a tunnel under water all the way it should be a fingersnap to build a 4 lane one across the few hundred meter of auckland harbour.
