15th<\/sup> July 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fiji\u2019s longest single span bailey bridge is now open to traffic.<\/p>\n

FRA Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Moore says the Vesidrua bailey bridge in the Northern Division is 51.816m and will provide a safe access for buses, cars and trucks accommodating 18T.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe temporary bailey bridge can sustain legal loading but because the adjacent Korovula Bridge is restricted to 18T, then the 18T\u00a0 restriction has to be maintained until the Korovula Bridge is also replaced (within three months),\u201d Mr Moore said.<\/p>\n

He said the temporary bailey bridge is controlled with traffic signals and vehicle users were advised to follow the signals.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorists are advised to drive as per the posted speed limits and comply with the legal load limits. The speed on the approach road is controlled to 30km\/hr while on the bailey bridge speed is 10km\/hr.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Moore said the work on the permanent bridge will immediately start with the first demolition of the old bridge.<\/p>\n

The planned completion of the permanent bridge is by July 2020.<\/p>\n
