The Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) has announced a temporary closure of the Wainibau Bridge on Baulevu Road for essential repairs this weekend. The closure will begin at 8:00 PM on Saturday, February 14, and is expected to conclude by 5:00 AM on Sunday, February 15, 2025. This closure is necessary for a significant deck replacement and other vital maintenance work.
Motorists are advised to plan their travel routes in advance to avoid any potential delays during this time. To prioritize public safety, a vehicle will be stationed at the Nausori end of the bridge to assist anyone in need during the closure.
The FRA has noted that the repair work will depend on favorable weather conditions, which means that if inclement weather arises, the repairs might be rescheduled. The authority encourages the public to remain patient and cooperative as these crucial upgrades are implemented, which will ultimately enhance safety and accessibility for all travelers.
