Some roads in Tavua closed due to flooding

Tavua Town’s end towards Rakiraki is currently flooded and closed to all traffic, despite low tide.

The Tavua Police Station has confirmed that the heavy rain experienced last night has resulted in several roads being flooded and closed and they are still surveying the situation.

They say affected routes include Yaladro Road, Nabua Flats, Balata Road and the Rocky Bridge.

Meanwhile, the Nadi Weather Office has issued a flood warning for flood-prone areas adjacent to and downstream of the Ba, Nasivi (Tavua), Nakauvadra (Rakiraki), and Nadi rivers.

They say a heavy rain warning also remains in force for the entire country.

They advise that a flood alert is still in place for flood-prone areas near all major rivers in Fiji.

An active trough of low pressure with associated clouds and rain is expected to affect Fiji until Sunday.
