New Plymouth's Coastal Cycle/ Walkway Gets Extended

The extension of New Plymouth's award-winning Coastal Walkway has been given the go-ahead following substantial funding from Land Transport New Zealand.

About 4 km of pathway, including a 70 m shared cycle/pedestrian bridge over the Waiwhakaiho River, will be created to extend the Coastal Walkway from Waiwhakaiho through to Ellesmere Ave in Bell Block.

The estimated $3.1 million project will increase the walkway's length from 7 km to more than 11 km. Land Transport New Zealand is contributing $1.88m, or 61 per cent of the project's cost, with New Plymouth District Council meeting the rest.

Land Transport New Zealand regional partnerships manager Rosalie Orr says the pathway will provide cyclists between Bell Block and the city with a safer and more pleasant route along Rewa Rewa Reserve and the coast.
