Otira Gorge Improvement
The beginning of the next summer holiday season would probably be the right time to raise the question of whether the Otira gorge could be opened to buses, the District Commissioner of Works (Mr D. B. Dallas) told the executive council of the South Island Publicity Association. Mr Dallas said the main thing in the meantime was to clear up the dangerous parts. Ultimately, there might be some alternative to the zig-zag.
In expectation of being able to divert more money to the Arthur’s Pass route soon, his department had begun to remove some of the danger points this year. Guard rails had been put in, and some experimental sealing done on the zig-zag.
