Manawatu Gorge landslide

Wow that is a major problem!!

The same spot...It looks as bad as last time Dwyllis. I trust no one hurt?

Oh that's awfull.
I remember a landslide near where my gran lived here in Wales, when I was little. Several houses got swept away ... and they had to build a new road.

Pimpernell ... yes, this is the same spot, but they had only cleared up part of the landslide on the highway when suddenly a whole lot more came down & covered all the weeks of work they had done. The entire hillside is so unstable ... they wouldn't get me anywhere near it! I think everyone is just holding their breath, waiting for the first fatality ... thank goodness that so far no-one has been badly hurt.

I don't blame you at all Dwyllis, better to have a longer journey than risk tragedy. That entire slope must be at risk..? Dread to think what it is doing to the ecology of the river.

thats a good place to stay away from, glad noone was hurt

Sounds to me very strange, they invest so much money into sinking slope. Wasting time, money and lives. Looking on this picture - it can repeat sooner or later. This issue requires some Japan or Italian architect, they are perfect in building bridges and highways on moving grounds :)

Wow! That's incredible! Mother Nature always wins.

It's really impressive!

We drove through the gorge a few weeks ago, when it re-opened. Only one side of the road was open then. Haven't been through it since, so not sure how it is now.
