Expect something different on the stretch of Queens Road between Nadi and the Coral Coast over the next couple of months as guard rails are being built and upgraded, and new signs are being installed.
The installation is expected to be finished just in time for the country’s first international golf tour event the Fijian PGA next month at the Natadola Bay golf course where overseas visitors will arrive in numbers.
Fiji Roads Authority Capital Works Manager Ian Hunter said the state of the guard rails on this busy road and the absence of it in other areas have been of concern for some time for locals and visitors alike.
Hunter added that for many who attend, this will be their first experience of Fiji, and they want to make it a great one.
Hunter said they will be installing new signage to help visitors negotiate intersections, avoid getting lost, and find out about key destinations they might otherwise miss.
He said the installation of guard rails and signs at the Nadi end of Queens Road is complete and the focus will move to the next section of the Queens Rd, and other major routes.
Meanwhile, the Fiji International golf tournament is expected to be one of the country’s largest and most prestigious sporting event as it will be broadcasted to about 400 million people in 40 countries.
