NAPIER-WAIROA ROAD
May Be Reopened In Three Weeks Dominion Special Service. Napier, May 24. The Public Works Department hopes that traffic will be able to use the main Napier-Wairoa road in about three weeks’ time. There is about two miles of continuous slips to be cleared on the Devil’s Elbow and if the weather remains fine the task of cutting a road around the face of the slips should be completed within the estimated time. The department is also constructing a temporary bridge over the Waikoau River. It is now possible to travel about a ntile and a half down the Devil's Elbow from the Napier end and as far as the Waikoau stream at the northern end. The district Public Works engineer, Mr. A. Dinnic, told “The Dominion” to-night that the deviation road along Petane beach would be completed to-morrow.
