Enforcement officers from the Land Transport Authority have been deployed to monitor motorists using the new detour on Bau Tikina Road.
LTA’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Aptinko Vaurasi says LTA would ban any vehicle that carries goods weighing over 18 tonnes which is the maximum weight allowed to travel through the new detour.
He says LTA officers have set up operations at strategic locations that ensures maximum coverage of vehicles using the new detour through Raralevu village and Vuci settlement.
Vaurasi says the road goes through communal settlements so motorists are to be mindful of the villagers on the roads, the children and animals.
The alternative route was opened to the public after a landslide resulting from December’s Tropical Depression which damaged a section at Kasavu along the Kings Road.
