Experience how it will feel to drive Te Ara o Te Ata – Mt Messenger Bypass with this new simulation.
The bypass is a new 6km route from Uruti to Ahititi that will avoid the existing steep, narrow and winding route over Mt Messenger on State Highway 3 in Taranaki. It includes two bridges of approximately 125m and 30m in length, and a 235m tunnel. As you can see from the simulation, the route will be lower, smoother and much less steep than the existing road.
