Road condition

Affected: Titirangi Cycle and Walkway (Queen's Drive-Titirangi Drive),

Riders need to be cautious with their speed going downhill towards Endcliffe Road due to the current state of the road including existing judder bars. Be aware of walkers coming up the hill on the blind corners. 
A section of the hill has slumped about a third of the way down. The road is now at a lower level as you ride through the slump, with gravel at the start of the slump. This would be dangerous at high speed. 
The road surface is damaged in various places on the downhill. A large pothole exists on the final descent corner in Endcliffe Road.
