The Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) is advancing steadily on the Suva Bus Stand Rehabilitation Project, with Phase 2 of Stage 2 approaching completion. Following the conclusion of the ongoing rectification works, the project will transition to Phase 3.
Project updates indicate significant progress across various stages:
– **Stage 1** has successfully enhanced the entire bus stand and its connecting roads, incorporating crucial underground drainage improvements.
– **Stage 2, Phase 1** has completed extensive construction including milling, excavation, basecourse preparation, cement stabilization, asphalt pavement, and surface drainage at the Rodwell Road Bus Stand Entry and inner lane.
– **Stage 2, Phase 2** focuses on the Western Bus Stand and Escott Street, where milling and basecourse stabilization have been accomplished. Currently, surface drainage progress stands at 59%, and line marking has yet to commence.
Completion of this project is anticipated to significantly enhance traffic flow, improve pedestrian safety, and modernize the public transport facilities in Suva, providing a better experience for daily commuters.
This initiative aligns with the broader commitment of local authorities to address infrastructure challenges in the area, as highlighted by officials, including Minister for Local Government, Maciu Nalumisa. The ongoing partnership between the FRA and the Suva City Council also showcases a cooperative effort to create a more effective and accessible public transport system, fostering optimism for improved commuting conditions.
Community members can look forward to a safer and more efficient transit experience, reflecting the authorities’ commitment to enhance public infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of Suva’s residents.
