Asphalt surfacing along Mendana Avenue has reached a new milestone, with the first and second layers now extending from the Hot Bread Roundabout to the frontage of ITA Hardware as work continues towards the Honiara City Council (HCC) Roundabout.
The road upgrade forms part of the Land and Maritime Connectivity Project (LMCP), jointly funded by the Solomon Islands Government and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
In a statement yesterday, the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) said workers are making steady progress on the westbound carriageway and remain on track to complete the road works by early August.
“We understand that these upgrade works cause traffic delays and detours for the travelling public, local businesses, and the working class. We sincerely thank you for your cooperation during this final phase of the road component,” MID said.
MID also urges motorists and pedestrians to exercise extra caution while travelling through the active construction zone.
“Please strictly follow all traffic management signs and instructions from traffic controllers on-site,” MID said.
According to MID, the upgraded road is expected to be officially handed over shortly after completion and will contribute to safer, more efficient, and climate-resilient transport infrastructure for Honiara.
