The roads that have had its roadwork pattern changed effectively are Princes Road, Nabua Roundabout, Ratu Mara Road- Kinoya Lights, Nakasi to Nausori Roundabout.

Moore says the FRA has changed the working patterns for at least until November 14th to ensure there are no disruptions going forward, especially for the school students.

The contractors have also been instructed to pull every piece of equipment and every member of their workforce off the road during peak hours to ease traffic flow.

Moore says they are looking at other roads on Kings Road to see if the same kind of implementation will work on them.
