Roads need ‘extensive’ repair works after Storm Frank

Roads across the country will need “extensive repair” when flood waters recede, says Conor Faughnan, director of consumer affairs with AA RoadWatch.

Even roads that are only partially flooded will be significantly damaged, he said, and surfaces will be affected.

“We had something similar to this, perhaps not as bad, or as extensive, or as long in duration, but something similar to this, in 2009,” he said.
