Fiji Roads Authority’s CEO Robert Sen says their engineers and contractor Higgins are currently on site to assess the extent of damage to the Maururu bridge in Ba which collapsed earlier today cutting off access to thousands of students and people.
Sen says they are also trying to identify temporary access until the bridge is repaired.
He says the bridge collapsed as a truck carrying supplies was crossing over the structure.
The two steel beams of this bridge has been badly twisted and will need replacement and people in the area are requested to use Natuyabia road.
