'Looking to one of the best summers we've ever had' The Coromandel is just days away from being stitched back together.. with a bridge due to open any day - reconnecting one side of the peninsula to the other. It's been a long year for communities coping without their lifeline highway which was taken out and washed away in the summer storms. For some it meant long detours - for others it meant moving house, or boarding with others, to be able to get to work and school. But ahead of time and under budget, the new connection is all but ready to go. Crews have been working 24/7 to get the job done - something the Prime Minister says he wants to see more of for other big projects around the country. Reporter Louise Ternouth and Camera Operator Nick Monro went to check out the Coromandel's brand new connection.
