The only access for these people was to get up as early as 3am to get to the nearest road and catch a PMV to town.
That is now a thing of the past, thanks to the Southern Highlands Provincial government through the leadership of Governor William Powi who put money aside every year since taking office.
A total of 5 million invested over five years has seen the completion of this road.
Community leaders said the road was first built by hand back in the 1960s and has never been funded since then.
