    About this project:

    A major slip in April 2017 left SH3 through the Manawatū Gorge impassable. Te Ahu a Turanga – Manawatū Tararua Highway is a new 11.5km route over the Ruahine Range, providing a safer, more resilient connection between Woodville and Ashhurst. The project includes six bridges, extensive earthworks, and significant environmental restoration efforts, with completion expected by mid-2025.
