Residents, motorists and business houses in Hohola are set to benefit from safer and more reliable road access as National Capital District Commission (NCDC) continues rehabilitation works on Hibiscus Street, Kunai Street and Bombax Street.

The project is being supervised by NCDC's City Works Division and carried out by 168 Enterprise Limited as part of NCDC's ongoing commitment to improving road infrastructure throughout Port Moresby.

The three roads were identified as priority locations after assessments found they had deteriorated beyond routine maintenance and required urgent rehabilitation. The condition of the roads, coupled with drainage issues, had affected accessibility and road safety for residents and motorists travelling through the area.

To address these challenges, the project includes comprehensive road rehabilitation works as well as the cleaning and restoration of storm water pits and open-lined drains. Improving drainage is a critical component of the works, helping to reduce water damage and extend the lifespan of the roads.

The rehabilitation covers approximately 938.6 metres of Hibiscus Street, 895.19 metres of Kunai Street, and 941.7 metres of Bombax Street.

Together, the three projects represent an investment of K3.6 million in improving critical road infrastructure for Hohola residents and road users.

Once completed, the upgraded roads will provide smoother and safer travel conditions, improve connectivity within the community, and support the efficient movement of people, goods, and services.

NCDC remains committed to delivering infrastructure projects that provide lasting benefits for residents while supporting the growth and development of the nation's capital.
