The upgraded roads in Kavieng have officially been opened. 

New Ireland Provincial Works Manager, Solomon Pela was present with sitting Governor, Sir Julius Chan to officiate the completion of road maintenance in the provincial capital.

“Citizens of Kavieng and New Ireland have every reason to celebrate this occasion. The sealing of our city roads and side streets has never been better in over 100 years. Some of our streets stayed the same from the time they were given before Independence,” said Governor Chan.

Simply put, we celebrate the fruits of our vision and mission in our development manual, the Malagan and New Ireland Declarations,” added Sir Julius.

PPP believes in People’s Progress. Lifting the standard of affluence from zero level to Self-Reliance and Autonomy, Chan said. 

Governor Chan said the Kavieng Town roads and all the roads in the Province have and will be upgraded and sealed as a solid investments for the people.

He also expressed that the next priority is the commencement of work on the West Coast Highway. Sir Julius said West Coast people are distant from the service delivery because of bad roads.

“We will give the people of West Coast the same opportunities to succeed by investing big on the West Coast Highway.

It will be sealed from Fangalawa to Lamusmus, and along the West Coast all the way through Sentral Niu Ailan, through Namatanai, and right down to Lamassa in the Konoagil Council,” said Sir Julius.

He added that this is the biggest high-budget project investment in New Ireland and his PPP Government has commenced work to give the people of West Coast the best-sealed road, if not, better than the Boluminski Highway.
