A piece of history

Travelling north from New Plymouth is a very steep and quite windy piece of road over Mt Messenger. Eventually this little road tunnel will not be used... the new road is due to open in 2026 and it will eliminate the slow steep road.

Looks like a pretty (though maybe not the safest) road.

I'm glad Mt Messenger is still called such and not changed to a maoir name! Its so well known.
