Temporary Fix

 

After having the temporary fix on the Auckland harbour bridge there have been six new lanes open on the bridge. A lot of people that live around the north shore area have been taking the western motorway on their way to work or to the city. 

Many aren't really happy to take public transport so thats probably why some work from home. Since this is only a temporary fix, this means it allows two extra lanes on the road. If you don't know what happened with the bridge try reading my previous blog post. 

Auckland Harbour Bridge

 

On Friday a horrible incident happened on the harbour bridge located in Auckland. This included two trucks toppling over each other.  Since this happened the bridge has been closed for repairing. This has caused at lot of traffic near that area. 

People around the north shore area will have to use buses or even work from home if its possible. This might only be a temporary fix because if it were to be permanent it would have a lot of people involved!

Water Restrictions

Many might know that our country is starting to have water issues. Since that has happened, Auckland has begun to have water restrictions. Auckland has only had 35 percent of our normal rainfalls. People are saying that our dam is currently sitting at levels that citizens haven't seen in 30 years! 

Since we are preserving water sprinklers, water blasters and car washers are turned off. Make sure that when you are taking showers and brushing your teeth don't take too long.

A Rail From Hamilton To Auckland?

In Hamilton funding has given that city a new rail service from Hamilton to Auckland. This new service is going to take place in Hamilton next year. It will cost around $92 million from funding to pay for the railing.

The transport minister Phil Twyford is saying that more and more people are travelling between these two cities so whats better than to make a rail. I think it's a great idea to make this train rail!
