Newcrest’s Lihir Mold Mine

Lihir to see major road upgrades in communities

The 18 kilometre Putput to Palie section of the main ring road, circling Aniolam, the largest island in the Lihir group and home to Newcrest’s Lihir gold mine, will be upgraded.

The Putput to Palie road upgrade is being built to Department of Works standard with drainage systems, speed humps, culverts and traffic signs.

At the ground breaking ceremony on August 29, 2016, Lihir General Manager, Craig Jetson, thanked community members, government officers and business leaders for their support and commitment in reaching the milestone of commencing work.
