The Fiji Roads Authority is raising concerns on a number of vandalism acts worth $26,000 against the newly built road from Wailoaloa road junction into Denarau in Nadi.
FRA Programme Manager for the Nadi Road Upgrade Project Zaina Khan says edges and flowers which were planted along the road to help beautify the surrounding leading into Denarau have been stolen and trampled on by pedestrians.
Khan says it is costing them $15,000 to replace these plants.
She says damages to footpaths are costing them $10,000.
Khan adds apart from people carving their names they are also a number of graffiti work on the footpath.
She adds these people are not sparing any newly built infrastructure as they are also damaging road signs like speed limits and direction sign which cost $1,000 to fix.
Some villages that live along this road are Narewa, Sikituru and Naqalevu.
FRA is calling on these villagers to report of any citing of vandalism act to police.
