Sealing works on Lesiaceva Road in Savusavu begin

Good news for people in Savusavu as Fiji Roads Authority contractors Fulton Hogan Higways have begun sealing works through their contractors on Lesiaceva Road in Savusavu that provides access to the community's leading resorts.

Fulton Hogan Hiways Contract Manager North Ryan Couchman says the road covers a 4km stretch from Savusavu Jetty and the project started in January with procurement of drainage pipes, followed by the replacement of 30 crossroad culverts and clearing of existing drainage channels.

He adds that not only will the sealing improve access for tourists to the resorts, but overall improve the quality of the road with improved drainage, and with the resealing, address flooding and muddy conditions that previously interfered with travel.

Couchman says Fulton Hogan is widening the road where possible and request the traveling public for their cooperation to reduce speed and drive carefully at road construction sites.
