브린더윈 언덕을 가로지르는 1번 주 고속도로 재개통 기념 행사

Share:

목요일, 노스랜드는 뉴질랜드의 다른 지역과의 주요 연결 도로인 브린더윈스 (Brynderwyns) 를 가로지르는 1번 주 고속도로가 4개월간 폐쇄된 후 재개통되는 것을 축하했다.고속도로는 대형 트럭, 통근자, 출장객으로 북적거렸다. 그동안 이용하던 우회 경로를 피할 수 있어서 행복했다.

자주 여행하는 사람 중 한 명인 가와카와에 있는 헌터 스타 호텔의 소유주인 맨프리트 브라 (Manpreet Brar) 는 재개장에 대해 흥분을 표했습니다.그는 우회 노선이 힘들고 시간이 많이 걸린다고 설명했습니다. 특히 트럭에 재고를 실을 때는 더욱 그렇습니다.

폐쇄로 인해 오클랜드 여행을 중단했던 황가레이의 캐슬린 파라하 (Kathleen Paraha) 역시 재개장을 앞두고 설레는 표정을 지었다.황가레이 시장 빈스 코쿠룰로와 카이파라 시장 크레이그 슨은 이 지역이 다른 나라와 다시 연결된 것을 축하하기 위해 차를 몰고 전망대로 향했다.이들은 폐쇄 기간 동안 트럭 운전자들이 직면한 어려움과 그것이 정서적으로나 경제적으로 이 지역에 미친 심각한 영향을 인정했다.

1번 국도 도로에 있는 카이와카 (Kaiwaka) 마을의 기업들도 재개장을 통해 안심할 수 있었습니다.폐쇄로 인해 유토피아 카페 (Eutopia Café) 의 판매량은 첫날부터 50% 감소했습니다.재개장을 통해 북부에 다시 활기를 불어넣고 비즈니스에 상당한 변화를 가져올 것으로 예상됩니다.

하지만 폐쇄 기간 동안 와이푸에 있는 업체들은 전혀 다른 경험을 했습니다.이 마을은 여행자들이 많이 들르는 곳이 되었고, 이는 와이푸 센트럴 (Waippu Central) 과 같은 비즈니스에도 유용했습니다.Paula McClean 매니저는 이 기간 동안 확보한 고객 중 일부가 계속 방문하기를 희망합니다.

브린더윈스를 가로지르는 1번 주 고속도로는 2022년 2월 사이클론 가브리엘로 인한 대규모 산사태 때문에 처음에 두 달간 폐쇄되었습니다.이 도로는 올해 2월 26일부터 대규모 공사를 위해 다시 폐쇄되었습니다.재개장은 예상보다 일찍, 마타리키 주말 직전에 진행되었습니다.도로 공사에는 고속도로 위 언덕의 많은 부분을 제거하고 보강하는 작업이 포함되었습니다.초기 공사 예산은 6천만 달러가 조금 넘었지만 추가 산사태 및 기타 요인으로 인해 8,400만 달러로 증가했습니다.

망가무카 협곡을 관통하는 1번 주 고속도로의 또 다른 구간은 산사태 때문에 폐쇄된 상태이며 크리스마스까지 재개될 것으로 예상됩니다.
