The Fiji Roads Authority says the traffic light at the Concave Drive junction along Queens Road at Namaka, Nadi is not 100 percent operational after an accident on Christmas day.
FRA’s CEO John Hutchinson says it is alleged that the accident was caused by a drunk driver.
Hutchinson says both the newly installed traffic light unit and the pole had been completely written off as a result of the accident.
He says the level of damage is costly and will result in some delays in completing repairs.
Hutchinson adds whilst they are investing millions of dollars on the road assets for the public to be able to travel safely, it is sad to see that people are not following the road rules.
He says the FRA is trying its best to fully restore it as quickly as possible however they will need to replace some components which need to be procured from Australia.
