The road through the Manawatu Gorge is fully operational more than 15 months after being closed by a massive slip.
The stretch of State Highway 3 connecting Manawatu with Wairarapa was closed after a large slip on August 6 last year.
The slip was cleared and the road reopened for
three days, before being closed after another slip in October.
In August one lane reopened, and in September both lanes were reopened, apart from two one-way sections controlled by lights.
Today all work on the road was completed, after road surfacing was laid and road markings were painted fresh.
