Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) CEO Kamal Prasad has confirmed that there are plans to tarseal roads in Namosi.
“FRA plans sealing works on these roads in the future when the budget is made available,” said Mr Prasad when responding to queries from this newspaper.
The Fiji Times had earlier reported that dry weather combined with poor road infrastructure and inconsiderate drivers was causing dust pollution, affecting the health and safety of residents.
Residents said requests to tarseal roads were ignored by the previous government.
Mr Prasad added there were over 4600km of unsealed roads to be sealed.
