Council Acting CEO Deo Narayan revealed his anxiety over the Bridge after being questioned by the Public Accounts Committee to give an update on the bridge.

“Since parts of it are sacramentally falling on to the ground and there is a high risk of people getting injured or at any time the bridge can collapse.”

Fiji Roads Authority Chief Executive Jonathan Moore says public safety is paramount to them and they have barricaded and closed the bridge indefinitely.
