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.
