Police are keeping an eye on traffic conditions between Rockhampton and Gracemere after the lights on the new Fairy Bower intersection with Old Gracemere Road failed.

Police have contacted Main Roads and Council but there’s no ETA on when the lights will be fixed.

Traffic is reportedly still flowing, but slower on the inbound lanes.

Motorists are reminded to take care and drive to the altered conditions.
