FRA OUTLINES MAJOR ROAD WORKS PLANNED FOR LABASA AND SAVUSAVU

11 March 2022

Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) Chief Executive Officer Kamal Prasad says they have major works planned for roads in the Northern Division as part of their Rip and Remake program.

Works are currently in progress at the following locations:

• Vunivau Temple Road, Siberia Road and Nakorotari Road in Labasa
• Few sections on Transinsular and Mizpha Avenue in Savusavu
• Navidamu Road in Seaqaqa from Seaqaqa College Bridge to Seaqaqa Muslim Primary School

“With frequent showers and the shortage of material supply issue in the Northern Division, especially sealing chips and bitumen has slowed down the pace of road works. As such, we do not want to rip the road surface and leave the roads unsealed. However, we have a plan in place and we will continue to expedite road works as the weather continues to improve.”

He said they want to improve the level of service to ensure safe, reliable and efficient travel for all road users.

The following roads are part of this month’s Rip and Remake program:

Labasa Area:

• Labasa Main Street, including side roads
• Bulileka Road
• Naduna Road
• Ritova Street
• Valebasoga Road
• Vaturekuka Vatunibale Road
• Vesi Street
• Vunivau Cemetery Road
• Zoing Place

Seaqaqa/Natua Area:

• Few sections on Nabouwalu Road, Natua

Savusavu Area:

• Savusavu Town Main Street
• Hooper Street
• Hugh Street
• Narrain Heights

Over the next few months, the FRA will be working from Tuatua Housing, Lajonia to Rara Housing among others.
