The Queens Road at Veisari outside Lami has been closed to a single lane until 1pm to allow tree cutting work.

This work is being carried out following a landslide on Tuesday, whereby the slip material extended across approximately 60m length of the Queens Road with the buildup of debris over 2m deep.

Fiji Roads Authority General Manager Network Operations and Maintenance, Aram Goes, says some tall pine trees on the roadside embankment pose a potential hazard.

The FRA contractor will remove them for safety reasons.

Goes says there may be possible delays in traffic movements until 1pm however there will be full traffic management to guide motorists safely through the site.
