Mr Prasad said they commenced construction in February 2020 and road works, utilities relocation, guardrails and temporary Bailey Bridge removal are yet to be completed.
He said some delays were caused due to relocations and COVID-19 lockdown.
The CEO said the previous bridge was a two span steel concrete composite bridge and the new bridge would cater for Fiji’s legal load limits.
Mr Prasad said FRA was constructing bridges in Tavualevu in Tavua, Yaqara in Tavua, Vuniyasi in Nadi, Bulu/ Matewale in Sigatoka, Velovelo in Lautoka, Waidalice in Korovou, Wainawi in Nausori, Naseyani in Rakiraki, and Viria in Naitasiri.
