GETTING TO BRIDGE TO NOWHERE NOW EASIER
Access to the Bridge to Nowhere from the Wanganui River is back to normal with the installation of a new footbridge. A July landslip took out an old footbridge on the Mangapurua Track, which is the most popular in the Whanganui National Park, making access difficult. The new bridge was pre-cut in Wanganui, transported to Mangapurua by jet boat and flown in to the site by helicopter, then put together in less than one day by DoC staff. Staff also worked on improving track drainage and cutting back vegetation.
