200 residents along with farmers along Visama Road outside Nausori will soon no longer struggle with poor road conditions as recent road upgrade works have been completed.
Visama vegetable farmer, Raju Prasad says the upgraded road has given them easy market access, even in rainy days.
Prasad says this is a great relief to farmers because it makes it easier to transport produce to the market because bad road condition has always been a big challenge for them.
Fulton Hogan Hiway's Rural East Area Supervisor Iliesa Tuikenatabua says the roadwork included the clearing of vegetation and blocked drainage, and the grading of a kilometre of Visama Road to restore road formation with particular attention to drainage.
Tuikenatabua says the road was narrow, slippery and a risk for motorists during heavy downpour before they worked on it.
