Many of these roads are expected to reopen on Thursday after the water drops and they are inspected for damage.
A Council spokesperson said crews were working hard to ensure the affected roads were being made safe for the community.
A full list of local affected roads, updated regularly by Council and Queensland Police, can be found on the South Burnett Disaster Dashboard (see link, below).
Conditions change rapidly and residents should not expect to see warnings signs for every crossing due to the widespread impact of the rainfall.
Residents have been encouraged to continue reporting affected roads to Council on (07) 4189-9100.
In a life-threatening emergency call Triple Zero and for assistance with damage to property call the SES on 13-25-00.
