With the FIFIA U20 World Cup set in the city, NCD managements has authorised for several roads to be  closed in the city to allow free access for teams to move into the field of play on match days.

All access roads will be closed two days prior to match day and control for safety and security of pedestrian and traffic near the four venues set for FIFA U20 matches; Sir John Guise Stadium, PNG Football Stadium, National Football Stadium and Bava Mini stadium.

For the Sir John Guise Stadium, which also includes PNG Football stadium, the road will be sealed at Ward Strip Primary school where there will be a one way traffic that will be controlled for Department of Labour access and PNG Education Institute access.

For the National Football Stadium, the road block will start from the Rita Flynn courts (bridge) which will be controlled from the other end round-about at Angau Drive roundabout.

Boroko residents will have one end of the street leading to the stadium be totally closed while the other end stands as a control point for residents’ vehicles only starting Sunday November 13.
