Waimanu Road receives upgrade
Waimanu Road receives upgrade
Major road works are taking
place on Waimanu Road and this work is carried out by Fulton
Hogan Hiways (FHH).
FHH is contracted to implement the
Fiji Roads Authority’s (FRA) maintenance programme to
improve road access across the Central, Northern and Eastern
divisions.
Approximately 10,000 square metres of
existing road, beginning from the Waimanu, Renwick, and
Toorak roads intersection and ending at the intersection of
Brown and Amy streets, will be milled out and replaced with
new asphalt.
Greg Clark, FHH Surfacing Manager, said that
Waimanu Road had been patched extensively in the past,
resulting in a rough surface and now in need of urgent
repair.
“When the work is completed, motorists can
expect a smoother, safer driving experience along Waimanu
Road without having to dodge potholes.
“As Waimanu
Road is a high-volume traffic route providing access to the
Suva Central Business District, work is taking place at
night between the hours of 7:00pm to 6:00am to minimise
traffic disruption, except for Sundays, when daytime work
will take place, between 8:00am and 5:00pm,” said Mr
Clark.
A five-man crew is responsible for traffic
management, as the road is reduced to a single lane during
the upgrade.
“The travelling public has been
excellent to date and adhering to the directions given by
traffic management personnel. This helps to keep the
travelling public and our work crews safe,” he
added.
