Worst year in more than 20 - Coromandel business owner | Checkpoint

The worst year for business in over 20 years - that is how one business owner has described the last 10 months living without the Coromandel Peninsula's vital link, State Highway 25A.

The route between Kopu and Hikuai will reopen by 20 December with a 124m bridge spanning the abyss that severed the highway in late January.

It was three months ahead of schedule, giving some businesses a lifeline before Christmas, but for others it came too late.

Reporter Louise Ternouth and camera operator Marika Khabazi have the story.
