MT MESSENGER TO AWAKINO TUNNEL SH3 UPGRADE GAINS MOMENTUMTransport Minister Simon Bridges is confident cultural and conservation issues will be overcome in time for a spring decision on the preferred roading option for an upgrade at Mt Messenger. Iwi are concerned the proposal could see State Highway 3 diverted through an area where endangered kokako are to be released, as well as through significant cultural wahi tapu sites. Bridges said he was confident discussions between the New Zealand Transport Agency and iwi on the preferred option would result in a favourable solution for both sides for work to begin by late 2017. www.stuff.co.nz/business/92689632/mt-messenger-to-awakino-tunnel-sh3-upgrade-gains-momentum
