The Fiji Roads Authority has completed road rehabilitation work on six frequently travelled road sections in the Central Division that will improve driving conditions, reduce travel time and enhance road viability.

FRA CEO Jonathan Moore says they have completed sections on Princes Road, Ratu Sukuna, Fletcher Road, Nabua Commercial area, Karsanji Street and Nabua Bypass Road with road improvement works, including road surface improvements, improved drainage, badly damaged sections of the kerb and channel and line marking.

He says majority of these works were carried out at night to reduce the impact of traffic congestion.

Moore says previously the repetitive pothole repairs have been used as an interim measure too many times and for too long.

The CEO says there is a limit to the number of times temporary repair can be done in the same location and once that limit has been reached the road requires major rehabilitation to bring it back to a serviceable condition.

Moore has also highlighted that FRA is taking steps to deliver rehabilitated sections of road throughout the country which will help provide a durable, long-life solution and minimizing future repair.

He adds the rehabilitation of the next group of severely deteriorated roads will begin from this month in Suva, Nadi and Labasa.
