Dusty roads will now be a thing of the past with the near completion of major rehabilitation works on Baulevu Road, outside of Nausori.
Fiji Roads Authority Acting CEO Robert Sen says Baulevu road was once a sealed road and because of deteriorating road conditions the seal had to be ripped off and the road programmed for resealing.
Fulton Hogan Hiways' Construction Manager Mark Burns says that a crew of 12 is sealing the four‑ and‑a‑half kilometre road.
Burns adds that the improvements has made the road safer for all road users in the area and the drainage improvements have seen a decrease in the water on the road and erosion on the road edge.
Baulevu is 10km away from Nausori Town and off the Kings Road.
It serves more than 1000 residents in farming settlements, three schools plus the villages of Kasavu, Natoaika and Naganivatu.
