Residents walk along River Road past large cracks where the road has slumped towards the river. The photographer comments, "Lateral spreading cracks in River Rd; the land left of the crack moved towards the river. The Banks Ave/Dallington Tce end of our block is impassable".
A man signals directions to a car attempting to make a u-turn on the badly damaged River Road. The road surface is cracked and buckled. The photographer comments, "More stranded cars, and rubbernecking sightseers turning around to go back the way they came".
A fence, road cones and a no entry sign block off part of the road at the intersection of North Parade and Banks Avenue in Richmond. A spray-painted sign on the fence reads "No thru traffic. Residents only." The photographer comments, "The entry to Banks Avenue from North Parade".
The road cordon on Hereford Street just outside the T & G Building (formerly known as Kenton Chambers). On the fence is a banner that reads 'Hope' and behind it is a street sign that reads 'Road closed'. A digger and building rubble can be seen in the background.

This used to be a perfectly straight and flat road!
A truck stuck in liquefaction on Breezes Road. The front wheels have fallen into a submerged pothole, and a digger is attempting to dig the truck out. The photographer comments, "The most common sight was extensive damage to the roads. Papanui, Breezes, Wainoni, Shortland Street and many more roads had large cracks and large sink holes. There were approximately 6 cars and 1 large Ready Mix cement truck that had fallen into holes within a few blocks of each other. All people appear to have escaped without serious injury as far as I could tell".

The center of the river has slumped and the two banks have moved about a meter closer together which caused this footbridge to be so twisted. There is a suggestion that this be left as a memorial to the earthquake.
