People who are choosing to travel by boat from Lami to Suva to avoid the traffic are being urged to practice safety.
An increasing number of people who live along the greater Lami area have been travelling to Suva by boat to avoid the long hours of traffic directly caused by repairs being done at the Tamavua-i-Wai bridge.
Police Chief of Operations ACP Rusiate Tudravu says they are monitoring the situation and are urging boat owners to ensure that their passengers are safe.
Tudravu says this is only being raised as a concern because of the increasing number of people involved.
