Road Maintenance

Office of the Governor of Madang, Ramsy Pariwa facilitated the much-needed maintenance work in preparation for the ELC-PNG Madang District Church Conference, which will be hosted by the Begesin circuit at Manupir mission station.

Members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of PNG expressed their appreciation and gratitude to the Office of the Governor.

The road will be the main access to the station and will be used by the Lutheran Christians during the conference.

The contractor, NGI Suppliers, commenced Graveling, Widening, and Associated Drainage Works on April 20th, 2023. The project is progressing well, and the expected completion date is set for mid-August 2023.

The New Ireland Government, has expressed pride in its commitment to infrastructure development. It invested K2.4 million in the Malendok ring road and K2.7 million in the upcoming Boeng road project, both aimed at benefiting the people of Tanir Local Level Government (LLG).

He raised queries this week during the Central House of Assembly meeting where the provincial budget was passed.

“In the 2020 budget, we budgeted from the Central provincial appropriation, out of your PSIP the two roads in my electorate need work, the Hiritano highway, which is the ring road that runs off from Agevairu all the way to Aropokina and onto the Bereina Junction to Veifa’a road which is a 12 kilometer road.”

Isoaimo stressed that this delay is not a good look for the provincial administration.

Newly appointed Madang Provincial Works Manager John Sitapai gave the assurance following the instruction of the Works Secretary to get the highway fixed soon.

Mr. Sitapai gave this assurance following the comment from Usino-Bundi MP Anton Yagama in a daily newspaper urging the Works Dept and the National Government to immediately fix the deteriorating highway.

MP Yagama expressed concern that the travelling public including business houses in Madang had been seriously affected due to the poor road condition.
