Walking on

-It was an odd road to be walking, this of painting.

Based on the above, can we say?

-We were walking this road. (not walking on)
-This trip (or whatever word related to journey) was worth going.

Do you think the second is wrong and on must be added after going?

'going on' :thumbsup:

'walking this road' is OK, but most would add a preposition:
'walking on/down/up/along this road'

Do you mean 'going on' is equally good English with, or better than simply, 'going'?

I mean that 'going' must be paired with 'on' in your sentence. Otherwise, you would not be expressing the entire verbal phrase. We don't 'go a trip'; we 'go on a trip'.
