Rehabiltion Road Works Continue

REHABILITATION ROAD WORKS CONTINUE

Fulton Hogan Hiways (FHH) is continuing its road rehabilitation programme on urban, suburban, and arterial roads in the Central division, says FHH Construction Manager, Phil Tombs.

The upgrade, which includes the completion of pothole reduction sites on Princes Road, and sections of the Queens Road from Veisari to Nakaulevu, is part of FHH’s service to lift the quality of roads in Fiji.

Crewmen have completed sites along Princes Road, beginning from Colo-i-Suva Park to the Fiji School of Nursing in Tamavua. Mr Tombs said that the rehabilitated stretch is expected to be line marked by this weekend.

“Prior to the rehabilitation work on Princes, the road had gone through a multiple of patch works and was becoming a hazard to motorists,” Mr Tombs said.

“We dug out the deteriorated top 125mm and refilled it with new gravel before it was stabilised to 250mm and then sealed.

“Not only will motorists have a more pleasant ride, the maintenance on this stretch will give it a longer lasting and cost effective surface.’’

On the Queens Road repairs, crewmen had dug out existing material, backfilled it with new gravel and cement, which was then stabilised and sealed before the reseal programme starts.

Stabilising teams used set equipment to perform the work that included a stabiliser, grader, rollers, water cart, and ten-wheel trucks to import the new aggregate.

Fulton Hogan Hiways works closely with the Fiji Roads Authority to provide road maintenance for the Central, Northern, and Eastern divisions.
