Vaisigano Bridge to open in July

However, to ease up traffic congestion, one lane going into Apia through the old bridge is now open and since last Friday morning people travelling from Moataa can go directly to the wharf via the roundabout at the Vaisigano bridge and vice versa.

“We are targeting to open the new bridge and the new road at Vaisigano for public use by June or July,” Lands Transport Authority CEO, Galumalemana Ta'atialeoitiiti Tutuvanu-Schwalger told the Savali Newspaper.

“Once the new road network and bridge is commissioned, demolition of the old Vaisigano Bridge will start,” she added.
