Flash flooding in parts of the Central Division, people advised to take precautionary measures

People are being advised to take precautionary measures as recent heavy rain has caused Navua River water levels to rise and flash flooding in some areas along Queens Road and in Nausori.

The Fiji Roads Authority confirms the Queens Highway is still open, however they advise caution when travelling.

A Heavy Rain Alert remains in force for the Central and Eastern divisions, Southern Bua, and Cakaudrove province.
