One way traffic management system will be put in place on Renwick Road in Suva from next Monday.
Fiji Roads Authority General Manager Central Aram Goes has confirmed this adding that the new layout on Renwick Road will consist of two lanes of one‑way traffic from Central Street.
He says these were part of the final changes to the Suva City Layout Plan to address the continual increase in traffic numbers, parking demands and the safety needs of the high pedestrian volumes in the City.
Further changes include; traffic from Ellery Street will not be able to turn left onto Renwick, to exit onto Pratt Street, once the road works are completed.
Goes has also highlighted that significant improvements have been made to Suva City traffic congestion following the opening of the Stinson Parade Bridge, with additional lanes provided to improve flow through the heart of Suva City.
He says the changes to the Pratt Street intersection with Renwick Road is aimed to relieve traffic queues that have existed in the bottle‑neck turn off from Thompson Street.
Meanwhile, roadworks on Renwick Road was completed yesterday, allowing a further week for the required traffic signage changes and road pavement markings to be painted to safely guide drivers through the new layout.
