FRA has confirmed that it’s contractors Fulton Hogan Hiways are sending gear out now to commence clearing.
Motorists on the ground have also contacted us saying that more than 80 vehicles are stuck at Beni Naiveli Hill from both ends of the road.
Some people have been stuck from 3.30 this morning.
Meanwhile a fallen tree has brought down some of the power lines near the World Harvest Centre in Kinoya.
