There was another landslide at Luatuanuʻu as heavy and unstable weather continues to worsen conditions on the East Coast Road. Last week, falling rocks damaged a vehicle.

Residents and drivers who crossed the route early Monday reported that large rocks and debris remain on the roadside, causing delays and heavy traffic for vehicles travelling from Aleipata and the wider Anoamaʻa district toward town.

Makerita Autagavaia, a 53-year-old woman who frequently uses the road, said the unstable weather means the landslide could continue to worsen. 

“Because of the bad weather, this landslide can continue. This causes traffic, and luckily, no one has been hurt,” she said.

A taxi driver, Fitu Alesana, who also passed through the area, voiced frustration, saying the government needs to fix the threat. 

“The Government should widen the road so that it makes people feel comfortable crossing the road. This landslide could also cause some potholes,” he said.

Another commuter, Logola Ilalio, said he fears for his family's safety every time they pass the landslide zone. 

“I'm afraid to cross the road because rocks might fall on my car and I'm concerned for my kids and my wife when we come shopping, passing this landslide area,” he said.

Local travellers say the situation is not only dangerous but is also causing significant travel delays as authorities have yet to clear the debris or place warning signs.

As wet weather persists, residents are urging the government and relevant authorities to act quickly to stabilise the slope and ensure the safety of road users.
