J. N. Purcell, Photo HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT. —This section of the Wellington-Palmerston North main highway near Foxton is subject to severe flooding, and to obviate this trouble an elevated roadway is being constructed on what is known as the Whirokino section of the highway. Construction work has been proceeding steadily for a long time and has now entered the last and most important phase of the scheme —the construction of a 60-chain concrete trestle bridge. The existing road appears on the right of the picture.
