Another day, another major state highway seriously compromised. A section of State Highway 25 in the Coromandel - from Whangamatā to Hikuai - has washed out, with the earth below the road falling away.
It's the detour for the detour, after SH25A - from Kopu to Hikuai - washed out in previous storms. In the last few hours, one lane has re-opened on the hammered highway, but the fragility of the network once again has locals worried.
