Sneak peak in the Mt Messenger Tunnel 2025

Contractors have offered a sneak-peak at two of the main features of Te Ara o Te Ata – the Mt Messenger Bypass on State Highway 3 in Taranaki.

The six-kilometer $360 million bypass aims to deliver a safer more resilient route north out of Taranaki, avoiding an existing steep and windy stretch of highway which includes a narrow tunnel.
