13 km Mangamuka Gorge road in NZ, closed for 2+ years due to landslides, to reopen by Christmas after $165M budget.

Mangamuka Gorge road in NZ, a crucial link between Kaitāia and the rest of the country, will reopen by Christmas after 2+ years of closure due to landslides. The 13 km road suffered from 15 slips in Aug 2022 and 20 more in Apr 2023. The initial $100M budget has risen to $165M due to delays and increased costs. The reopening will improve travel and social connections, and boost Northland's economy.
