THE Ministry of Infrastructure Development’s (MID) Transport Infrastructure Management Services Division has engaged local contractors to enhance the Hibiscus Avenue drainage system and road conditions, providing an alternative route to alleviate traffic congestion along the main highway from Town Ground section to West Honiara.
“The drainage works is to repair the existing drainage system and clearing those that are clog with debris.
“Road relief works continue as well since this strip is a crucial access route to key government buildings and Honiara’s business district.”
Our supervisors are on-site to oversee the drainage works.
In parallel, work continues on the main highway under the Land and Maritime Connectivity Project (LMCP). China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) is scheduled to begin laying asphalt by April 2025. This extensive upgrade will expand the road from a two-lane to a four-lane configuration, enhancing accessibility and efficiency for commuters.
The project section spanning from Townground Roundabout to White River is projected for completion by December 2025.
MID appreciates the patience and understanding of West Honiara community members during this period of construction.
