The Roads Authority (RA) has asked all road users to exercise extra caution and be vigilant on their journeys, especially in areas where good rains have fallen. 

The RA noted that showers have started falling again in southern , which in some cases have hindered repair works. 
“Please take note that it has started to rain in the southern regions again and our effort to restore the links might be delayed. We will, however, continue to inspect and assess the condition of the roads and erect warning signs at damaged sections accordingly. Where possible, we will ensure that emergency repair works are done to allow access to the public,” read a statement from the RA.
