The Fiji Roads Authority has embarked on a $3.4 million road rehabilitation project of Queen Elizabeth Drive which extends from Ratu Cakobau Road to Ratu Sukuna Road in Suva.
Work on Queen Elizabeth Drive will go up to My Suva Park and the project will take 5 to 6 weeks to be completed subject to weather conditions.
Fiji Roads Authority General Manager for Network Operations and Maintenance, Aram Goes says this will see the smartening up and upgrading of the central town area, the Thurston Gardens and Presidential grounds.
Goes says the FRA acknowledges that there will be traffic impacts from this work however there will be alternative routes which means the section of the community is not completely cut off.
He says there are message board signs and motorists should avoid the area if possible.
Goes says the FRA will accelerate the work at night however works in the night are problematic as that is when the rain comes.
He says there are other works that will take place through Ratu Cakobau Road up to Denison Road which will include Gladstone Road.
Goes says the FRA is also addressing the pothole problem on Jerusalem Road.
