Summary

State Highway 3 in northern Taranaki just reopened after a major landslide blocked the road south of Mount Messenger Tunnel—rocks and trees crashed down, forcing a full shutdown. Crews raced in with heavy machinery, clearing the debris by 9 AM, but things aren’t back to normal yet. Expect slow traffic, stop-and-go conditions, and a 30 km/h speed limit. Workers may direct you to stop—listen up and give yourself extra time if heading through the area. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
