According to a source from the Department of Works and Highways, the project is expected to be finalized by June.
The highway, spanning a total of 158.9 kilometers, aims to bridge the missing link between Oiwa Junction in Aseki, Menyamya, and Epo Junction in Gulf Province.
Significant progress has been made, with more than 100 kilometers of the road already constructed.
The source confirmed that two teams from the Department of Works and Highways are actively working on different sections of the project to expedite its completion.
Works Secretary Gibson Holemba recently stated in a local print media report that approximately 40 kilometers of the highway, extending from Oiwa Junction to Bema and then to Kotidanga in Gulf Province, is on track for completion by June.
Following the completion of this segment, Holemba noted that construction teams will shift their focus to the section connecting Kerema to Menyamya, further enhancing accessibility and connectivity in the region.
