A major road construction project is reshaping daily life on Gau Island, with 3.8 kilometers of a planned 6-kilometer stretch from Lamiti to Yadua now complete.

Once finished, the road will cut travel time between the two villages from 90 minutes to just 30 minutes. It will also connect communities directly to Qarani Jetty, a vital lifeline for transport and trade.

The Fiji Roads Authority said the development is expected to improve access to markets, strengthen village connectivity, and support industries such as pine farming.

“Building infrastructure that connects people and supports better transportation systems across Fiji,” the FRA said in a statement.
