Hot road work
A Nelson-based company has been contacted regarding the heating of the road at the Hairpin on the Ohakune Mountain Road, the Waimarino Community Board heard at their last meeting. Placing electric heating cables under the section of road to help alleviate the ice problem there was suggested recently. "We need to provide this company with fur-
ther details for a preliminary design and estimate to be prepared," said council officer Bruce Dobson. He said care in design would be needed if the scheme were to be successful as it could create more problems than it solved. "There have been cases where the water run-off from the melted ice freezes on the side of the road, creating even bigger problems," he said.
