Roadworks along the Tandai Highway have reached a major milestone, with the St John School T‑intersection and the Rove Roundabout now substantially complete.
Both lanes are open to traffic through the Rove area, a statement by the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) in a statement yesterday said.
The project has now shifted focus to the Rifle Range Roundabout, where work is underway on the seaside section.
Crews are preparing the subbase and stabilising foundations before moving on to concrete works and then the landside section, MID said.
“The Tandai‑Rifle Ridge Roundabout is a critical traffic node. Upgrading this intersection will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and deliver long‑term benefits for Honiara,” Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) Allan Lilia said.
MID urges drivers to follow traffic signs and management instructions.
Delays are expected due to limited alternative routes, the statement said.
The upgrades form part of the Land and Maritime Connectivity Project (LMCP), jointly funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Solomon Islands Government (SIG).
