Despite the absence of funding from the national government this year, the Wabag District Development Authority (WDDA) remains committed to advancing the Enga-Sepik Highway road project. The authority is ensuring steady progress on this crucial infrastructure initiative.

Wabag Open MP Dr. Lino Tom recently highlighted a significant development: the construction of a new Bailey bridge spanning the Imap River. This bridge is a vital link, passing through the Maip-Mulitaka Local Level Government area within the Pogera-Paiela District, before reaching the Pasalangus government station in the Maramuni Local Level Government area of Wabag District.

The project is essential for establishing and improving vital bridge connections along the Enga-Sepik Highway. Its successful completion is expected to enhance connectivity and facilitate transportation through these remote regions.
