After days of rain, the Vura Road in East Honiara received a much needed relief work over the weekend.

Over the past days, the road condition along the Vura had been in a very bad state, causing inconvenience to vehicle owners and commuters who have been accessing the road.

Heavy downpour had resulted in parts of the road flooded due to poor drainage system.

As of Saturday a local contractor had hit the ground working on:

​ 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Currently focusing on the worst-affected sections to restore access.

​ 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲: Initial scoping has identified key issues with live streams and blocked culverts. Targeted drainage improvements will begin in the coming days to manage runoff.

While budget remains a challenge, the Ministry’s 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 is committed to keeping this road trafficable and safe.

​𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱: A full rehabilitation is slated to be undertaken by the 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 (𝗖𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗜𝗜) from SDA bus stop to Naha Police Station intersection).

​Thank you to the Vura residents and road users for your patience and cooperation.
