Due to consistent and intense rainfall in Northern Queensland, there is widespread localised flooding leading to multiple road closures impacting the heavy vehicle industry and other road users.

This situation is rapidly evolving and the Department of Transport and Main Roads urges heavy vehicle operators to monitor the QldTraffic website at www.qldtraffic.qld.gov.au for any updates.

The QldTraffic website will be dynamic to reflect the changing situation relating to heavy vehicle access throughout this weather event.
