Yeah, I think the posts that hold up the wires, can just be removed from the sockets, and then a new one slotted in. I guess if a dozen are damaged, then they can be replaced by workers the next day.
Where did you get the information that the shared pathway will allow horses? As all the public meetings I attended we were told absolutely horses would not be allowed because of the extra engineering required to take a 500kg horse on the bridges
The Kapiti to Pekapeka trail is a bridle path so it makes sense to extend it. I speculate based on this. Look at the bridge in the link below, it's like a foot thick, solid. The side walls have high rails, like for a horse crossing, and the lower side walls have solid metal plates, so horses and stock can't get their legs stuck in the railings. You could take a mob of sheep across, or a heard of cattle, there would not be any problem taking a horse to two over. I would think it would be fine for a car. I am sure that when it opens the maintenance people will take mowers or work vehicles across. ua-cam.com/video/ifU_RCrjLNg/v-deo.html
Great Video Darryl, interesting construction even compared to the the Paraparumu motorway! Thanks darryl
Glad you liked it!
Cheers thanks for that. Looking forward to middle of November video
Yeah, me too, I drive that way quite a bit.
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos! I can’t wait for this road to be finished.
You and me both!
Great video Darryl, I drive Otaki to Porrirua every day really enjoying you filling in all the details I drive past.
Great to hear! I occasionally talk with the workers on the projects, I read a bunch of the project design and impact reports.
I am led to believe that the wire rope barriers are much cheaper and easier to fix in the event that a vehicle is redirected.

Marycrest was a Nunnery
Thanks, I always thought it was a school for some reason.
