The Highlands Provinces though are linked by road to Madang and the country’s second largest Province and Industrial capita, Lae through the Highlands Highway.
But that link takes care of PNG’s internal Provinces only and sections of the Highway have proven impassable many a time due to tribal warfare in the Highlands or deterioration from a lack of proper and timely maintenance.
Natural disasters have also played a part in the efficiency and safety of this highway over the years.
