Several roads and crossings in the Western Division are currently flooded and inaccessible following recent heavy rain.<\/p>\n
The affected areas include parts of Tavua, Rakiraki and surrounding districts, where rising water levels have cut off access to a number of key routes.<\/p>\n
In Tavua, Yaladro Road is accessible only to 4×4 vehicles, while Kings Road at Vitogo is experiencing surface flooding but remains open to all traffic with caution. <\/p>\n
However, Kings Road near Tavualevu Bridge and Yaladro Junction is currently restricted to 4×4 vehicles only.<\/p>\n
Other roads and crossings in Tavua reported as flooded include Nabuna Road, Vatia Wharf Road at Crossing #2, Qalela Road at Crossing #1, Matacawa Road at Crossing #1, and Lubulubu Road at Crossing #1.<\/p>\n
Katudrau Road, Waimari Road and Korotale Road have also been affected.<\/p>\n
In Rakiraki, flooding has impacted Rakiraki Town and Naqoro Flat, further disrupting movement in the area.<\/p>\n
