A “substantial spill” of toilet paper from a truck left a section of a Dunedin motorway backed up before contractors got to the bottom of it.<\/p>\n
Contractors from\u00a0NZTA Waka Kotahi\u00a0were dispatched to the southern motorway to deal with the spill at Fairfield, near the Old Brighton Road offramp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NZTA was advised just after 1pm and the area was cleared by the contractors about an hour later.<\/p>\n
“On paper it seemed like a simple job, but it took a little while to get to the bottom of it,” an NZTA spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Clearly getting into the spirit of the occasion, the spokesman continued:\u00a0“Some of the contractors were reported to be looking a bit flushed afterwards, and others were feeling a bit wiped out.<\/p>\n
“We hear that people will be in line for some time in loo after such a big effort.”<\/p>\n
