New Zealand's earthquake damaged State Highway 1 north of Kaikōura, has been repaired and are in contention for an award (thanks Mark!)


The $1.1 billion dollar rebuild along the Kaikōura coast is up for civil engineering's "prize of prizes",
and is the only Southern Hemisphere finalist in the Institution of Civil Engineers People's Choice Award, going up against major projects from Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, India and Nepal.
