The Ministry of Infrastructure Development Road (MID) has announced that the construction and drainage works will begin at the eastern landside section of the Hot Bread Roundabout in Honiara on Monday, 25 May 2026.
This project, which will involve building drainage pits and installing stormwater pipes, is expected to take two days to complete, a statement from MID yesterday said.
During the works, temporary traffic arrangements will be in place.
Westbound vehicles will be diverted to the seaside inner lane, with the landside lane near the old Guadalcanal Headquarters Road closed.
Eastbound vehicles will be directed to use the seaside outer lane towards the junction of the old Guadalcanal Headquarters Road.
Motorists are advised to expect delays due to lane narrowing and congestion, and are encouraged to plan their travel time accordingly when entering the Central Business District (CBD) area, MID said.
The work area will be barricaded with traffic signs, and Road Transport Board Taskforce personnel along with contractor safety officers will be on-site to direct traffic.
Pedestrians are urged to use designated walkways and crossing points to ensure safety and minimise delays.
Officials note that the schedule may be adjusted depending on weather conditions, and traffic management plans have been prepared to guide road users during the construction period.
