See the progress on the new Manawatu-Tararua highway

Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency has released the latest flyover of work on the new highway between Woodville and Ashhurst.

Te Ahu a Turanga: Manawatū-Tararua Highway has been under construction since January 2021.

The highway will replace the Manawatū Gorge road, which has been permanently closed to traffic since 2017.

In the latest newsletter, it was noted that more than five million cubic metres of earth had been moved, with less than one million cubic metres to go.

Project health and wellbeing lead Kaye Allardice-Green provided the commentary on the footage.
