The road is around {{Convert|137|km|mi|0}} long, but this changes as sections are rehashed. The "highway" was built in the early 1980s. It is maintained by Ok Tedi Mining Limited, who are the greatest beneficiaries of the road. The highway, for the most part, runs parallel with the Ok Tedi River, which is an incredibly fast moving and volatile river since it is a high volume waterway resting on a sand bank. Parts of the highway are often consumed by the river and need to be rebuilt. The cost of maintaining this road is K1.5 million a year, in a region where people have an average annual income of about K50 a year. There is a copper slurry pipeline running along the full length of the road from the mine site north of Tabubil down to Bige. The full length of the road was first cycled in 2013 by Luke Jackson, Dylan Carroll, Michael Hayen and Mikel Wolters. {{PapuaNewGuinea-geo-stub}} 3 : Western Province (Papua New Guinea)|Road transport in Papua New Guinea|Gravel roads |
