I’d love to hear from NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi on who they contracted to do the SH2 Whakamarama resealing to explain what the process is like to reseal a road.

I drive to Te Puna every day from Katikati and experience my fair share of roadworks – and by-and-large I don’t mind.

I can see progress and people working and it’s great.

But the SH2 Whakamarama resealing project is baffling me a bit.

The road has been closed from 8pm-6am for however many days; how long does it take to reseal a road when the road is closed for 10 hours each night?

I think some clarity on the process would ease a lot of anger and frustration from commuters stuck in some terrible traffic lately.

It’s a lot easier to feel less frustrated when you understand what’s going on!

F McGrant, Katikati.
