What do you think about Ōtaki Gorge Rd potentially being closed?

Mandy Te Reporter from Kāpiti Observer

Plans to close Ōtaki Gorge Rd for expressway work has been called dangerous, "braindead" and sending residents round in circles. Residents were caught off-guard by news their road could be temporarily cut off at its entrance from State Highway 1 by work on the expressway. Does this effect you? How do you feel about this?
