As construction continues, He Ara Kotahi bridge now spans the Manawatū in September 2018. The river is slightly diverted to allow for work on the bridge.

He Ara Kotahi is a new 7.6km off-road pathway and bridge over the Manawatū River. Once it's built it will be a key route in Palmerston North's urban transport network, connecting Linton Military Camp, Massey University and FoodHQ to the city.

Starting on the southern side of Fitzherbert Bridge, the pathway will follow the Manawatū River and Kahuterawa Stream to Bells Road, near Linton.
