The team working on Te Ara o Te Ata – Mt Messenger Bypass congratulates Mōkau Museum on the reopening of its newly refurbished facility.
Among the updated displays is a specially designed bypass exhibit, a collaborative effort between the Museum and the Mt Messenger Alliance. The immersive experience includes a drive-through bypass simulator, details on the project’s construction, environmental and cultural perspectives, and a cutting-edge 3D model that offers an insight into the challenges and significance of the Mt Messenger Bypass project.
Mt Messenger Alliance project spokesperson Caleb Perry says the refurbished museum gives a fascinating glimpse into the rich heritage of the area and it’s something the project is proud to be part of.
"We’re grateful to Mōkau Museum for the opportunity to show the different aspects of the Mt Messenger Bypass," says Mr Perry. "This exhibit not only updates visitors about our project but also highlights its importance for the local economy and environment.”
He says the display is a bridge between history and possibility, demonstrating the positive impact that infrastructure projects can have on local communities.
Te Ara o Te Ata – Mt Messenger Bypass is a new 6km section of SH3 in northern Taranaki which skirts Mt Messenger, making the road safer and more resilient. The project includes two bridges, a tunnel and an extensive environmental improvement and mitigation package which aims to leave the area in a better condition.
