Story: Northland region

Road-making (2nd of 3)

Road-making

Because of the region’s slow growth, Northland’s roads had low priority in the national roading strategy, and local authorities often did not have the funds to improve them. Gradually, however, a network developed. This photograph shows road-making in progress near Waipū in the 1920s.
