The Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) has announced an investigation into the overhead barricade incident at the Navua Bridge, where the structure collapsed earlier today. In response to the incident, the FRA has dispatched a team to clear the fallen barricade promptly, facilitating the restoration of traffic flow and ensuring safe passage for drivers utilizing the bridge.
The investigation aims to determine whether the collapse was due to structural failure or if it stemmed from damage inflicted by an oversized vehicle that might have breached the height restriction. This barricade was implemented in 2024 as a safety precaution designed to safeguard motorists and maintain the bridge’s structural integrity.
The FRA’s swift action in addressing the situation highlights their commitment to public safety and maintaining infrastructure. As the investigation unfolds, there is hope that the results will lead to enhanced safety measures and prevent similar incidents in the future, ensuring that the bridge remains a reliable route for all motorists.
