Roadworks on the West Honiara main highway are progressing steadily as contractors push to complete major sections ahead of the upcoming Pacific Islands Leaders Forum next month.
The contractor, China Civil Engineering Construction Cooperation (CCECC), continued asphalt sealing work along the seaside stretch from Townground to Coral Seas Hotel.
According to the project update, the land side of this section has already been completed, with current works extending seaside towards the Iron Bottom Sound (IBS) Hotel.
CCECC has assured that its teams are working around the clock to ensure that the stretch from Townground to Rove Outback is fully sealed and ready before the Leaders Forum begins in Honiara.
The Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) has thanked road users, business houses, and pedestrians for their patience and cooperation as temporary barriers and traffic signs remain in place during the works.
The road rehabilitation is part of the government’s flagship Land Maritime Connectivity Project (LMCP), designed to improve transport networks and ease traffic congestion in the capital.
