As of today, the Cawa Road in Martintar Nadi, which is connected to Queens Road on the side of the Namaka Public School, will be completely shut off to the public. Robert Sen, Managing Director of the Fiji Roads Authority, says the closing took place after the successfull implementation of new lights at the intersections Nadi Backroad, Queens Road and Nasilivata Road.
The improvements were made as part of the Nadi and Suva Upgrading Project, where the highway was rebuilt and widened from 2 to 4 tracks along the Namaka route. The new Cawa Rd entry leads from the end of Namaka Public School through Nasilivata Rd.
It also emphasises that work on Martintar to the Wailoaloa hub is making good progress and is scheduled for completion in March next year.
Fiji's Queens Road - From Nadi to the Pacific Port
The Queens Road begins in Nadi, where the airfield is situated, and surrounds the whole isle. Rumour has it is a 12-hour ride to circumnavigate the whole archipelago, but our final stop was the Pearl Resort in Pacific Harbor, which only took about 2 - 2 1/2 h. It' s a little scary after an 11 hr Los Angeles trip, but the view is certainly worth your while.
Sometimes it goes slowly, while you creep cautiously through the many towns along the way. My various riders came from one of the village on several trips and they were very proud to show where they had been. It' difficult to understand that a family has been alive for generation and never abandoned the Isle.
For many of the village people, living does not seem to be simple, but they are very proud of what they have. It gave me a new outlook on my L.A. lifestyle, where every time I travel over La Cienega or Third Avenue, I have the feeling that Mario Andretti masters the traps of motorists sleeping at the steering seat.
What really catches my eye when I look back at the pictures from my trip to Fiji is how far the skies are open. Well, I suppose that's the nice thing about being on such a small isle. They were often stunning in their splendour and I wish I had taken more of my own free moment to read them.
And, with a little happiness, I will return to Fiji to herald the New Year. Nevertheless, I am lucky to have made this trip, it has changed my whole world.
