CONTINUOUS rainfall has caused problems for motorists and people living close to the riversides to evacuate and move to higher ground.
Last Thursday August 25, many vehicles were stuck in two locations of the Buka/Arawa highway, the Aita River in central Bougainville and the Tsunpets River in North Bougainville.
The Tsunpets river bridge was flooded with water rising over the bridge making it difficult for vehicles to cross over.
The Aita River traditional called Iorovi river also broke its banks and blocked off the road and even washed away several houses on its banks.
A lot of commuters have complained but they just have to wait until it all subsides.
According to reports reaching Loop PNG in Buka, cars waited until late in the afternoon before they started arriving in their locations, in Buka and Arawa.
