1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. THE PROGRAM
1. The Sustainable Highlands Highway Investment Program (SHHIP), otherwise referred
to as the Investment Program, aims to rehabilitate, upgrade and maintain the Highlands
Highway (HH) through physical investment. Additionally, aligned with provisions and policy
framework of National Transport Strategy (NTS), the Investment Program provides capacity
development for the broader transport sector using the HH as a pilot project for implementing
the envisaged holistic approach to sustainable maintenance. It promotes national cooperation
and integration and widens access to social and economic opportunities via improved land
transport infrastructure in PNG through the nation’s most important road.
2. Impact and Outcome: The expected impact of the program is aligned with national
strategies1, 2, 3 where: (i) opportunity for equality and prosperity in rural areas is increased; (ii)
well integrated; safe; socially, financially and environmentally sustainable transport systems is
attained; and (iii) access to health, education and other services and living standard of the
people of PNG is improved. The expected outcome is efficient and safe increased movement
of people, goods and services between the Highlands region and the markets.
3. The SHHIP is a 10-year Program and implements in three tranches as following:
• Tranche 1 is being implemented between 2019 and 2022 and includes (i) road
maintenance and road improvement works, (ii) drainage and slope protection
works, (iii) road safety improvements as well.
• Tranche 2 shall be implemented between 2023 and 2025 and includes (i)
continue road maintenance and road investment works, (ii) widen all 29 single
lane bridges to two lanes with pedestrian footpaths, (iii) repair, reinforce and
reconstruct as appropriate all (40) two-lane bridges.
• Tranche 3 shall be implemented between 2026 and 2028 and includes (i)
continue road maintenance and road improvement works, (ii) build a new two-
lane bypass to divert heavy and through traffic around Goroka because the
dense urban fabric cannot accommodate a four-lane highway, (iii) build about 20
km of truck climbing lanes in the steep slopes of the Kassam and Daulo Passes,
(iv) build two truck weigh stations in Jiwaka and Goroka; and build two logistics
platforms for the trade of fresh produce in Jiwaka and Goroka.

4. Tranche 2 implementation status: Tranche 2 of SHHIP is being processed with the
estimated cost of about US$ 395 million, which will be co-financed by ADB, OPEC Fund for
International Development and the Govt. of PNG.
5. A number of documents including strategic procurement planning (SPP) report,
feasibility study and preliminary engineering Designs, and the required safeguards documents
have been prepared. The safeguards documents, however, need to be updated by conducting
bridge-site-specific risk and impact assessments. Also, as two sets of environmental and social
safeguards plans and other instruments have been prepared during the Tranche 2 processing
stage for the entire SHHIP Highway, they need to be aligned with each of the three civil works
packages for efficient and effective implementation of the plans. It has been decided by the
GoPNG to implement the civil works in three packages; and Bids for 3 civil works packages
have been invited on 28 August 2020 for submission by 30 November 2020. A pre-bid meeting
was held on 28 September 2020 and the Minutes of the Pre-bid Meeting was issued in the first
week of October 2020.
6. Tranche 3 implementation status: The feasibility studies on the different alternatives
for the Goroka Road Bypass was completed and initial reports were submitted to the Employer
in March 2020. After thorough review of the alternatives, an option (option no. 4) was selected
for the Design Consultant to proceed with the preliminary design. Topographical survey
commenced in June and is currently ongoing, including preparation of the Initial Environmental
Examination (IEE) and relevant other environmental safeguards documents in tandem with the
Design works. The social impact assessment (SIA) and linked consultations and surveys, and
preparation of the applicable mitigation plans (including preparation and implementation of the
resettlement plan, if required based on the assessment findings) are planned to be conducted
by the DoW with support from the PMO.
1.2. SHHIP - TRANCHE 1 OVERVIEW
7. Tranche 1 Outputs: The outputs financed under Tranche 1 will be: (i) 40% of the 430
kilometer of two-lane national Highlands Highway from Lae Nadzab airport to Kagamuga airport

safeguards in civil works being undertaken by the Contractors.

team meeting has been conducted on 3rd December 2020 at Mount Hagen. Pertinent key issues,
major challenges and the way forward have been discussed during the meeting participated in by all
four CROs, aimed at providing enhanced support to the PMO/DoW for smooth implementation of the
SHHIP works.
