They have done the survey work and will start in the near future !
According to the local farming gossip network ( busy pack of chaps ! )
Also the narrow 1 way swingbridges inplace are to be replaced with 2 way
thingys - after the dip jobbie
I feel that this distracts from 50s uniqueness

Napier will become the direct route via our 50 so this will mean more traffic
esp. furkn trucks

Not sure that this is progress really

Thats the only stretch of road that lets me catch up, so they gona build it for them thar cruisers eH!

Zuki, Yamahahahahaha, Ford, holden etc ==== Fran with or with out colour painted on.

Morepower and I had a look at this years ago when the steel elements came out. There were many opinions about the paper Fran use but they dominate the market so Fran it is for most of us.
