The traffic chaos continues along Queens Highway as there is an accident now at the Suva end of the Tamavua-i-Wai Bridge.

This has been confirmed by Fiji Roads Authority who says both lanes of the Tamavua-i-Wai Bridge are now open.

One lane was closed this morning as it was undergoing immediate repair works.

The FRA had said that the approach to the bridge had sunk because of heavy rain last night and a heavy load of vehicles travelling along the road.

They say the bridge needed to be uplifted and immediate works were needed to be done so that it would not damage vehicles.

They also say the damage became visible late last night and to avoid further deterioration, the repair work required reinforcement so that another heavy rain does not damage the road again.
