09 February 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prolonged rain and extensive flooding around the country, especially in the Western and Northern Division have saturated the unsealed roads making some roads impassable.<\/p>\n

Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) Chief Executive Officer Kamal Prasad says that currently the unsealed roads are not suitable for heavy haulage and small cars.\u00a0 FRA personnel are on the ground monitoring the situation and will deploy the contractors as soon as practicable to remediate these soft spots.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe continuous rain experienced is impeding our contractors\u2019 ability to carry out repair works. In the meantime, motorists are advised to be patient and drive to the conditions. The repairs will be prioritized in accordance with the road use hierarchy, that is highways will be repaired first and then the arterial roads followed by the secondary roads and lastly the side roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Prasad said some roads continue to remain impassable due to flooding, and members of the public can view the road status update from the live link below:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for water to recede on some of the roads before we can assess them for damage. Please continue to keep a safe following distance in order to prevent accidents on wet and slippery roads and avoid driving into flooded areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Members of the public can contact the FRA on toll free number 5720 regarding the affected roads and crossings.<\/p>\n
