Terrigal Potholes — Salt, Spray And Soft Edges
Terrigal’s a coastal beating for bitumen. The beachfront carparks off the Esplanade and down at The Haven cop sea spray and salt-laden wind year round. Salt water gets into cracks, sits there, and rots the bond between the surface and the base faster than fresh rainwater ever would. Add the freeze-thaw of wet-then-baking-sun summer days and the seal goes brittle and starts breaking up at the edges. The beach carparks are the worst — they break up around the kerb lines and the entry ramps where cars turn and brake on a wet, salty surface every weekend.
Terrigal Drive and the Scenic Highway run the load in and out, and the lower streets near the lagoon pond water after rain because there’s nowhere for it to drain. That standing water is where the potholes start. We also do a steady run of strata carparks behind the Esplanade restaurants and unit blocks up the hill, plus tourist-accommodation driveways that get hammered over summer and never get a chance to recover.
When a pothole opens up in a busy beachfront carpark over the season, it’s a wheel-in-the-hole risk with hundreds of cars a day rolling through. Real human on the phone, crew organised — no logging it and forgetting it. We cut the failure back to sound pavement, prime it, lay hot-mix and roll it tight so salt and water can’t get straight back in. Square saw-cut patches built to handle the coastal punishment, not a shovel of cold-mix. Small commercial patches are quoted on access and depth — give us a ring. Thirty-plus years patching Coast roads — we know what salt does to a seal.
