NEW DAWN ON BOUGAINVILLE

300710 ROAD BAD
By Aloysius Laukai

The ongoing rain is destroying the Buka Arawa Buin Highway as this Laukai Picture shows.
The road is at its worst in the Suir area...between Baneo Plantation and Rawa plantation and to make it worse is that the new road contractor is using bad sand mixed with earth on this section of the highway.
Maybe the road engineers should check this road,

Buka Town is on mostly reclaimed land and alot of buildings are still being built on such land. One new building is to be erected on this site pictured near the Kuri Village resort.
