Road works to cause delays near Nevis Bluff

Motorists driving between Cromwell and Queenstown on State Highway 6 can expect delays of up to ten minutes from next Monday, as safety work on the Nevis Bluff begins.

The Nevis Bluff has been worrying and inconveniencing people for as long as I can remember, and I'm 83.
WHY the whole bluff isn't dynamited once and for all is just beyond me!

Instead of those gallant men risking their lives scaling the sheer vertical face of the Nevis Bluff, why don't we just ask Donald to send over some fully armed F16's and demolish the problem once and for all … Tom Cruise can come and do the clean-up in his chopper.

Apparently, both the F16 pilots and Tom are experienced at low flying in the Central Otago area, so unless someone complains about the noise, or no radio to listen to, I can't really foresee any problems .... 😏
