The project covers the road from Kreer Junction to Maprik.
The project includes essential maintenance works such as drainage clearing, culvert replacement, pavement repairs, pothole patching, and resealing. Australia is also funding the supervision of this project.
Department of Works Secretary, David Wereh, sees this project as an important step towards delivering safer, more reliable roads for PNG.
“The Department is putting maintenance first to ensure that our national priority roads are maintained to continue to connect businesses and communities,” he said.
