The Trades Transformation Company (TTC) has reached the endpoint of the 33 km road upgrade and maintenance from Maoa in West Kwaio to Hauhui in West Are’are in Malaita Province.
The project complements the National Transport Plan (NTP) to improve accessibility, safety, and foster economic development.
The Ministry’s Transport Infrastructure Management Services Division unit in Auki, continues to provide supervision to ensure quality standards.
TTC’s lead engineer, Raymond Steven, said they are reaching Afutara, just 3.5 km from the endpoint, Hauhui.
“We anticipate good weather so we can reach Heo Bridge and get this contract done,” he said.
The TTC is also undertaking tar sealing of the first five kilometers from Kwaibala to Oibola, and Fulisango road maintenance and repairs.
According to a media statement from the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) yesterday, the Trades Transformation Company is also assisting communities, churches, and schools along West Kwaio with access road repair and maintenance.
Su’u National Secondary School is one of the schools that the TTC has assisted with clearing, gravelling, and compaction.
