FRA response

WE refer to Phillip Isaac’s letter (18.09.19). The announced EFL (Energy Fiji Ltd) works do not constitute excavating trenches in the carriageway. The proposed works will be carried out outside the footpath and cycle lane. Please be informed that to future proof the works redundant EFL and TFL (Telecom Fiji Ltd) ducts have been laid under the four lane road, as directed and supervised by the two utilities during the reconstruction phase. There should be no need for excavating the carriageway and footpaths to lay utilities in near future.

WAF pipes have also been upgraded and installed during the reconstruction phase.

The FRA (Fiji Roads Authority) has some minor works to complete such as placing underground cables which will take place in the next few months, however, this will not interfere with the road.
