The Fiji Roads Authority (FRA) has announced that the Kings Road is now open to traffic following the receding floodwaters, ensuring safe passage for vehicles. However, the FRA has issued a reminder for drivers to be cautious during heavy rain. They advise reducing speed, increasing the distance between vehicles, and using low-beam headlights to enhance visibility.
While the Kings Road is passable, some sections of the roadway may be reduced to one lane due to surface flooding. Additionally, a flash flood warning continues to be in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas, particularly in the Western and Northern divisions, where areas such as Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, and Rakiraki are still experiencing significant water levels.
In summary, while the Kings Road is accessible once again, travelers should remain vigilant and prioritize safety during conditions that could lead to further flooding. This situation highlights the importance of roadway safety during adverse weather conditions and underscores the community’s resilience in navigating such challenges.
