The Bau Tikina Access Road is closed to all heavy vehicles including buses.
This has been confirmed by the Fiji Roads Authority Chief Executive Officer John Hutchinson who saysbuses will continue to use the existing setup at Kasavu on Kings Road disembarking passengers who will need to board a second bus on the other side.
Hutchinson says this decision ensures that the FRA is preventing any accident or incident that may put the lives of the travelling public in danger.
He says the Bau Tikina Access Road is an emergency by‑pass route that was opened up to provide alternative access on the network as a result of the slip at Kasavu closing Kings Road.
Hutchinson says the Bau Tikina Access Road remains open to vehicles up to a maximum weight restriction of 18 tonnes, excluding buses carrying public passengers.
