Marape takes the road to Lae, a journey that was once impossible
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported57m ago
Prime Minister James Marape is currently traveling the newly completed 182.6-kilometre section of the Trans-National Highway, which connects Oiwa Junction in Morobe Province to Epo Junction in Gulf Province. The Prime Minister began his journey after staying at Bema Station, crossing through the Kaintiba mountains to reach Lae. This route, previously considered impossible to traverse, marks a significant development in the nation's infrastructure connectivity.
The project, known as the missing link of the Trans-National Highway, was completed by the Department of Works and Highways at a cost of approximately K80 million. Notably, the construction was executed entirely by the department without the engagement of external contractors.
