Contractors working for New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) are used to clearing ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ off our state highways – and now they can add a sink to the list.
Contractors working for New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) are used to clearing ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ off our state highways – and now they can add a sink to the list.
NZTA was contacted yesterday about the bathroom sink and some wood spilled on State Highway 1/Western Belfast Bypass Motorway in Christchurch.
The sink was initially moved to the shoulder of the road before contractors for NZTA were able to reach the site and clear it and the other material that had been obstructing the highway.
“We had a bit of a sinking feeling when we learned we would have to deal with this one,” says an NZTA spokesperson.
“We take seriously our responsibility to keep the highways unclogged and our contractors always do a great job in responding. It’s fortunate we can tap into their skills, even when they are feeling drained after a long day on the job.”
