The announcement was made by NCD Governor Powes Parkop during the official opening of the highway today.
Parkop said it was only fitting that the highway be named after Sir William who has served the NCD as a former Governor, and the country as a former Opposition Leader and Prime Minister.
Among the dignitaries at the opening included Minister for Sports, Special Events and APEC Justin Tkatchenko and Minister for Health and HIV, Michael Malabag.
