    A long awaited highway for Manawatu Gorge has the green light


    The Environment Court has granted resource consent for the Manawatu Tararua Highway project.

    NZTA wants to build the four lane highway to replace State Highway 3 between Woodville and Ashhurst.

    Owner Interface Manager Lonnie Dalzell says it's a significant milestone.

    Construction's expected to start in January.
