It serves as an essential link within the wider Suva transport network, supporting the daily flow of life and commerce”. These include road safety improvements, pavement rehabilitation, drainage upgrades, pedestrian protection and strengthening the overall reliability of the road network. The final scope of the project includes the upgrade of approximately 2.7 kilometers of road, featuring full pavement rehabilitation, improved drainage systems, kerb and channel reconstruction, continuous dual pedestrian footpaths, enhanced pedestrian crossings, and upgraded road signage and markings. The improvements are expected to address longstanding drainage issues, reduce accident risks and provide a safer, smoother journey for all road users.
