Summary
They just dropped a major upgrade on the Forgotten World Highway with the new Kururau Bridge — a $3.6 million, century-built structure replacing a crumbling hand-dug tunnel. This iconic route between King Country and Taranaki just got safer, smoother, and more reliable for locals and tourists alike. It’s the first project under NZ’s new national bridge replacement program, with five more sites already in the pipeline — all aimed at making travel across the country more efficient and durable for decades to come.
