Fiji Sun, 14 July 2017 – The Fiji Roads Authority confirms that Kalabu bridge on Kalabu Road in Nasinu is closed to motorists from Monday 17 July and will re-open to traffic on Monday 07 August 2017.
FRA Acting CEO Robert Sen says that the 3 weeks closure period is necessary to undertake the necessary structural repairs to the bridge. He adds that the foundation of the bridge is concrete and once this is poured it will take a number of days to cure before any live traffic can be allowed over it.
Fulton Hogan Hiways together with their sub-contractor Instant Construction Limited will be carrying out this structural repair work that will involve removing and replacing the beams; constructing a new abutment for the bridge; removing and replacing the wooden planks and constructing a gabion (rock protection) for the existing walls.
