The Fiji Roads Authority is undertaking a significant project to widen several roads along the Suva-Nausori corridor, aiming to alleviate the persistent traffic congestion in the area. The roads scheduled for 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 a vital component of a comprehensive medium-to-long-term infrastructure development plan. The project not only seeks to improve traffic flow but also aligns with a broader vision for the growth and advancement of Fiji’s transport sector.
Additionally, the minister highlighted efforts toward decarbonization, which involves evaluating Fiji’s current transport emissions, pinpointing areas for enhancement, and establishing clear, achievable targets. This approach demonstrates a commitment to sustainable infrastructure development, paving the way for a more efficient and environmentally friendly transport system in Fiji.
This initiative is a hopeful prospect for the residents of Suva and Nausori. By addressing traffic congestion and focusing on sustainable transport solutions, Fiji is taking steps toward a more modern and efficient infrastructure that can accommodate future growth while being mindful of environmental impact.
