Delay in the supply of bitumen has resulted in delays to roadworks on Delainavesi Rd, says Fiji Roads Authority acting CEO Kamal Prasad.
“Works were scheduled to commence on Delainavesi Rd today (08/01), however, due to bitumen supply issues, we are temporarily patching potholes,” he said.
He said FRA was aware of the dismal state of the road and had scheduled rehabilitation works that were due to start yesterday.
On Wednesday, January 6, this newspaper spoke to Suresh Prasad, a cabbie based at Delainavesi for more than 10 years.
“When I first came to Delainavesi, the road was not that bad, over the years it just deteriorated,” he said.
