7 crashes in 3 years at NZ's Pekatahi Bridge near Whakatāne have repeatedly damaged a local resident's fence. Tracy Watson, who owns the paddock, has repaired it 7 times, as the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is responsible for the bridge's maintenance. Watson pushes for safety improvements like better road alignment or traffic cameras, while the bridge is currently scheduled for renewal in 2037.
