Concerns have been raised by members of the public of the road condition behind Hanson’s Supermarket in Makoi.

They say the miserable state of these roads has become a major inconvenience for both businesses and residents.

Commuters are dealing with potholes, cracked pavements, and uneven surfaces, which not only cause damage to vehicles but also pose safety risks.

These poor road conditions impede the movement of traffic, causing delays and frustration among those who rely on these roads every day.

The Fiji Roads Authority says work will be programmed in the area from tonight.
