Zigzag ‘threatened’
Greymouth reporter “One of these days the zigzag section of the Arthur’s Pass highway is going to fall down,” the Director of Reading, Mr R. B. Fisher, told a combined meeting of the National Roads Board and the No. 12 District Roads Council at Greymouth. The highway was an important link “and we want to have plans in the drawer for the event when a quick restoration is needed,” he said.
“The Ministry of Works and Development has been told to prepare for that day,” he said. The highway itself was otherwise “0.K.” Notes supplied to board members who inspected the section earlier in the week said that the highway at the zigzag was “threatened from above and below. Realignment is the most pressing problem to be addressed by the Arthur’s Pass study project”
