Plan ahead: Overnight closures on Twin Bridges on SH15
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is warning motorists to plan ahead for overnight closures of State Highway 15 at the Twin Bridges in Mangakahia next week. The highway will be closed on Thursday, October 26, and Friday, October 27, from 7.30pm until 5am to allow guardrail fixings on the underside of the bridge to be repaired. There are no local detours so using SH1 or SH14/12 is advised.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
