Insane roadworks

We have been travelling to the regions on public holidays and hope it’s helping the tourism industry.

Unfortunately, this Good Friday, the road works from Auckland through Hamilton to Rotorua made it a six-hour drive. Why can’t they make the roads on weekdays instead of torturing the travellers on public holidays? This could also have saved the taxpayers a packet, one and a half times on wages.

What goodwill and sanity does this promote?
