Waka Kotahi and the Mt Messenger Alliance are looking forward to restarting work that has been paused for more than three weeks while a small group of people were unlawfully occupying a work site for the Te Ara o Te Ata: Mt Messenger Bypass project at the summit of Mt Messenger, following their departure today.
Update: 2.15pm 8 September - State Highway 3 has reopened to traffic under Stop/Go at Mt Messenger in north Taranaki. People are asked to be patient while traffic clears.
State highways across Waikato & Bay of Plenty region will be hives of activity this spring and summer, with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency gearing up for the country’s largest-ever road renewal season.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and its project partners Manukorihi, Ngāti Rahiri, Otaraua, Pukerangiora, Puketapu Hapū, Te Kotahitanga o Te Atiawa and New Plymouth District Council, invite people to learn more about safety improvements planned for State Highway 3 between Waitara and Bell Block at a series of drop-in sessions in September.
