Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) has confirmed significant progress on the West Honiara Road rehabilitation, with asphalting works completed over the weekend on the stretch from Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) building to St. John School (landside).

The works are being carried out by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) under the ongoing Land and Maritime Connectivity Project (LMCP).

In a statement issued over the weekend, MID urged residents, pedestrians, and motorists to use the designated temporary entrances and driveways while the freshly sealed section remains closed.

The newly paved section opened for public use on Sunday, August 3.

MID acknowledges the continued patience and cooperation of the public during the road upgrades, particularly residents, businesses, and daily commuters in West Honiara, who have faced months of traffic congestion and detours.

“We appreciate your patience as we steadily progress with the rehabilitation works from White River to Townground,” the ministry stated.

MID also assures the public that all efforts are being made to ensure effective traffic management and to minimise further disruption.

The West Honiara upgrade is part of the government’s broader infrastructure push to improve key transport corridors across the capital.
