The KGG (Buana) to Nang Aid Post Road Rehabilitation Project is making steady progress under the leadership of the Member for Nawaeb and District Development Authority (DDA) Chairman, Hon. Theo Pelgen.

Delivered by lead contractor Allied PNG Group, the 22.8-kilometre infrastructure initiative is nearing the final stages of major construction. According to the latest technical progress report dated November 10, 2026, significant milestones have been achieved across key phases of the project.

Major roadworks along the corridor are substantially complete, with road clearing at 100%, earthworks at 95%, and pavement construction now at 90%.

Crews have also made substantial headway on critical drainage infrastructure to ensure the road's long-term durability. The installation of a 1,200mm culvert pipe—along with the construction of the headwall, wingwalls, and inlet apron—is 100% complete, whilst backfilling and the removal of soft spots remain actively ongoing.

Furthermore, gabion basket installation is progressing on schedule, with two remaining 7.5-metre culvert sections already staged for installation.

In the coming weeks, Allied PNG Group will focus on finalizing the remaining structural and surface works. These final tasks include completing the gabion outlet walls, installing the two remaining 7.5-metre culvert pipes, and finishing pavement construction on the final 10% of the roadway.

Once completed, the rehabilitated road will transform connectivity for communities along the Buana–Nang corridor. The upgraded infrastructure will provide safer and more reliable travel, streamline the transport of agricultural produce to markets, and ensure timely access to essential public services, including vital healthcare at the Nang Aid Post.

Through the Nawaeb DDA, Hon. Theo Pelgen remains committed to prioritizing rural infrastructure and ensuring previously isolated areas of Nawaeb District are connected to economic and social opportunities.
