A shared pathway for cyclists and walkers between Waipawa and Waipukurau will soon be a reality.
The path aims to connect the two towns and make walking and cycling easier for the public.
"While we are strongly focused on safety, we also have a responsibility to encourage people to think about using different ways of getting around without driving a car," NZ Transport Agency senior project manager Rob Partridge said.
The path provides a separate area for cyclists and walkers, aiding in safety.
Construction is expected to begin in mid-2020.
