A technical mission team from the World Bank visited the Su’u Harbour and Bira bridges construction sites yesterday to assess firsthand progress and review the implementation activities of the project.
The delivery of the final panels for the two bridges’ construction materials last month by the World Bank, marks a significant step forward in the construction.
A statement from SIRAP 2 says the visit provides an opportunity for the supervising engineers, contractors, and local stakeholders to engage and meet with the technical team.
It stated that the mission team’s visit aims to ensure that their work is progressing according to plan, with focus on quality, safety, and environmental compliance.
Also mentioned is the importance of maintaining high standards in construction and ensuring the project outcomes deliver long-term benefits to the local communities.
The projects are constructed by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), which wasted no time and successfully installed the two deck panels for the Su’u Harbour Bridge.
“This marks a significant step forward in the ongoing construction works under the Second Solomon Islands Roads and Aviation Project (SIRAP2), which is funded by the World Bank and implemented by the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID).
“Once completed, the new Su’u Harbour Bridge will improve safe and reliable access for surrounding communities, enhance connectivity within Malaita Province, and support local economic and social activities,” the statement said.
