Better—But Not All-Weather Yet

THE Suva Chamber of Commerce has met with limited success in its efforts to impress on the Fiji Government the need for an all weather road between Suva and Nadi Airport.

The Chamber wanted a consider able sum of money spent on the Queen’s Road to make it passable in all weather, to eliminate as many bends as possible, and to generally improve the surface.

The Government has now decided to rebuild three bridges which could not be used in bad weather because they could not be approached, and to replace two combined road-rail bridges with road traffic crossings.

Although these improvements will not make the Queen’s Road an all weather highway, they will at least reduce delays.
