The Fiji Roads Authority has announced a plan to enhance the Suva-Nausori corridor by widening several key roads to four lanes, aiming to alleviate persistent traffic congestion in the area. The targeted roads for this expansion include Ratudovi Road from Nadera to Laqere, Fletcher Road from Nanuku to Laucala Bay Road, and Princess Road from Khalsa Road to Samabula.
Transport and Infrastructure Minister Ro Filipe Tuisawau discussed this initiative in Parliament last week, emphasizing that the road widening is part of a comprehensive medium-to-long-term infrastructure development strategy. This plan not only focuses on improving road capacity but also addresses the broader vision for Fiji’s transport future. Key components of this vision include the implementation of decarbonization strategies, a thorough evaluation of current transport emissions, identification of improvement areas, and the establishment of clear and attainable targets for sustainable transportation.
This initiative presents a hopeful step forward for Fiji, aimed at enhancing traffic flow and reducing congestion while also taking important strides towards a more sustainable future in transport. By investing in infrastructure and environmental improvements, Fiji can pave the way for better connectivity and a cleaner, more efficient transport sector.
