New Zealand's Department of Conservation shared some news on October 23, 2026. It was about a forest track called the Mangapurua Track. The track goes through Whanganui National Park. It closes to bikes every winter. On October 24, 2026, it opened to bikes again.
The track has seven new bridges. Workers built them in another place first. Then the bridges arrived by air, already finished! The new bridges are wider, so bikes can cross more easily.
