The series of sculptures which will be erected along the route
Community drop-in session at the Whangamōmona Hotel
When: Thursday, 29 August 2024, 5.30pm -7pm
Where: Whangamōmona Hotel, 6018 Ohura Road, Whangamōmona 4396
We're gearing up to seal the remaining 5.7km of road through the Tāngarākau Gorge this summer. We’re committed to doing this work efficiently while minimising disruption for people who use the road as much as possible, so we're keen to hear the community's views on traffic management while this work is underway.
The project team will be at the Whangamōmona Hotel on Thursday 29th August to speak to the community.
Call in any time between 5.30pm and 7pm to have a chat and share your views.
You can also find out more about 5 sculptures being erected along the route at the event. Developed by Iwi, the sculptures are being delivered as part of safety and wayfinding improvements, which has seen 1200 metres of roadside barrier installed across 11 sites, 230 safety signs erected, and improvements made to rest and stopping areas along the route.
The sculptures tell the story of legendary Māori traveller Tamatea-Pōkai-Whenua’s journey up the Whanganui River and in areas of East Taranaki. They are expected to become a key attraction, bringing more visitors to the Forgotten World Highway.
If you can’t make it to the event but would like to share your views on traffic management through the gorge over the summer please email us at fwh@nzta.govt.nz
