The maintenance and repair construction of the Fulisango/Afio Road in Central Kwara’ae is progressing towards completion.
The completion of the road will provide good accessibility for rural farmers and families, improve safety for public transport and pedestrians, and link economic growth in the rural communities to markets and good services.
According to the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID), the grading and graveling of the road is progressing smoothly.
MID said the repairs cover the road section from the Auki Correctional Centre gates to Namosalabe, to Busininiu, and the upper course of the Fiu River.
“We are pushing toward better connectivity for our rural communities in Central Kwara’ae.
“Currently, the work is ongoing from upper Faasitoro Heights through to Dukwasi,” said MID.
It stated that the work progress of the road was supervised and well implemented to a quality standard by the Ministry’s Transport Infrastructure Management Services Division, with field officers based in Auki making daily visits.
“They are supervising every phase to ensure quality standards are strictly maintained for the safety of all road users,” MID said.
The Trades Transformation Company (TTC), which is responsible for the maintenance and repair construction, has been working hard despite the continuous rain affecting parts of the country since last month.
This project is funded under Australia’s National Transport Fund, along with four other projects across Malaita Province.
