    Let pp be a prime number. Irreducible cyclic codes of length p2βˆ’1p^2-1 and dimension 22 over the integers modulo php^h are shown to have exactly two nonzero Hamming weights. The construction uses the Galois ring of characteristic php^h and order p2h.p^{2h}. When the check polynomial is primitive, the code meets the Griesmer bound of (Shiromoto, Storme) (2012). By puncturing some projective codes are constructed. Those in length p+1p+1 meet a Singleton-like bound of (Shiromoto , 2000). An infinite family of strongly regular graphs is constructed as coset graphs of the duals of these projective codes. A common cover of all these graphs, for fixed pp, is provided by considering the Hensel lifting of these cyclic codes over the pp-adic numbers
