“This highway will pave way for the easy and smooth transportation of goods and services from one end to the other.

“Economic development takes place when there is better infrastructure and it provides opportunities for the community to benefit greatly.

“This highway opens opportunities for SMEs to create new business in New Ireland Province, and also to access markets around the country and overseas. It also makes it easier to deliver services to communities that were difficult to reach in the past.
