Te Ahu a Turanga Project

 

This year ENVCC24 is host to a 3-hour (pre-conference) workshop on Te Ahu a Turanga highway project, presented by Horizons Regional Council and Alliance. 

​

A major slip in April 2017 left SH3 through the Manawatū Gorge impassable. A new road will be built over the Ruahine Range, to provide a safe, resilient, and efficient route between Woodville and Ashhurst. The new highway is due for completion by the middle of 2025. 

​

The highway is being built by an Alliance of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Fulton Hogan, HEB Construction, Aurecon, WSP, Rangitāne o Manawatū, Rangitāne o Tamaki nui-a-Rua, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tāmaki nui-a-Rua, Te Runanga o Raukawa (Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga and Nga Kaitiaki ō Ngāti Kauwhata).  

​

This workshop presents an important case study for partnership and delivery of a $620 million infrastructure project, providing work for up to 350 people at any one time.
