Kandep is accessible by road. Kandep - Laiagam Road linking to Wabag is 3 hours drive back and forth. The Kandep - Mendi road is under construction. The Kandep - Magarima Road also provides a connection.

Wage LLG comprises council wards from Upper and Lower Wage. The Lai River which flows from north to south divides the District into two LLGs. The eastern part is called the Lai LLG and the western part called the Wage LLG. Magarima in the newly established Hela Province can be accessible from the Lower Wage (Titip) by road. However, the road connection between Kandep and Magarima is connected by a bridge which sometimes sinks in the Kandep swamp. Several companies have been contracted to carry out the maintenance and reconstruction of the bridge but up till now, no work has progressed.

It is the lack of bridge that people cross over from Kandep by wooden canoes and either walk all the way or by chance catch one of the two PMVs which make scheduled trips to Magarima.

gollark: This is obviously not correcting for age and stuff, but still.
gollark: Based on highly advanced simulations*, 5% of people dying would mean that if you know 25 people you stand a 75% chance of one or more dying.* my calculator
gollark: Also, I think 5% of people dying would create, er, problems.
gollark: "Oh, I'm experiencing [mildly bad thing]? Might as well die, I guess."
gollark: Also, you could get sick and still not be able to work.
