Bureta Street, Samabula [January, 19. 2021]

Some good news for drivers who have been affected by pathetic road conditions as the road sealing material, bitumen has finally arrived from abroad and contractors will start sealing roads from today.

That’s the assurance from the Acting CEO of the Fiji Roads Authority, Kamal Prasad who says they understand what the motorists are going through.

He says sealing works will start today on Vunakace Road in Namadi Heights, lanes in Raiwai and Lakeba and Tubou streets in Samabula.

Prasad says the contractors will start reconstruction work on Grantham Road, upper Bureta Street, Princes Road and Delainavesi from next week.

He adds major works will start in two weeks time on Kanace Road in Valelevu, Nokonoko Road, Lovoni Road and Belo Street in Samabula.

   

Prasad says they also have plans to do resurfacing works on Queens Road from Tamavua-i-wai Bridge to Delainavesi Bridge as there are lots of pot holes in this section. He says works will happen in two weeks time.

He says road works on lower Bureta Street and other connecting roads in Samabula and Raiwai will be done in a month’s time.

Prasad adds they have dealt with the supplier of road materials.
