Track Conservation Works
Works between Mt. Bellamy (Kokoda Gap) and Owers Corner commences on the 1st – 20th February. KTA will enlist the local CVA workers that have a proven track record in this area. This 20 day project will cover approximately 55km of the track.
Efogi to Owers Corner Track
The section between Efogi, Manari, Agulogo and Naoro 1 has experienced heavy water log due to the November-December rainfall. Fallen trees have also been reported between Naoro 1 and Ioribaiwa.
Kokoda to Templeton Crossings Track
There are number of large fallen trees along this section of the track. Reports show 3 large trees are laying across the track between Kokoda and Isurava. Between Alola and Isurava there is a total of 6 fallen trees, and another 3 large trees between Alola and Iora Creek.
Bridge Crossings and Landslips
The three major bridges between Alola, Abuari and Iora Creeks have been washed away due to the recent flooding. A landslip has also occurred between Alola and Iora Creek. Plans are currently underway to engage the local communities in the works program to repair these affected areas.
