Police are currently managing traffic flow at the Rewa Bridge due to flooding, affecting residents’ daily commutes and access to essential services.

The continuous heavy rain from last night and subsequent flooding have led to restrictions on movement, impacting the local communities.

The persistent rainfall has caused the water levels to rise due poor drainage systems, making it unsafe for vehicles to pass through the area.
Nausori Taxi driver Chandra Singh says this is not the first time it has happened.
