The heavy rain from Tropical Cyclone Mona has resulted in an increase in the number of potholes in the Northern, Eastern and Central Divisions.

Fiji Roads Authority, Chief Executive Jonathan Moore says they are in the process of rectifying the damage.

Moore says the work on potholes is being carried out as a temporary repair until a more permanent solution is implemented over the next 12 months.

He adds the permanent solutions aims to significantly reduce the incidences of pothole in the future.

FRA is urging the public, especially motorists to be patient, drive to the conditions and keep a safe following distance.
