The Fiji Roads Authority has confirmed that the Nasese Road works under the Queen Elizabeth Drive Road Upgrading Project is progressing well.

FRA Chief Executive, Kamal Prasad says the project’s completion date is dependent on the weather.

He adds that the project has been delayed since the beginning because there have been some changes in design.

“You will see we have got preloading near the bridge so these things and also EFL lines we are doing undergrounding so there has been delay in supply of cables so things like this have delayed things but it’s not that bad. The COVID-19 also delayed it.”
