Traffic on the east and westbound lanes of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway came to a crawl as drivers tried to negotiate the rising floodwaters, according to a 19-second video footage posted by Waze Trinidad and Tobago at 3 p.m.
People reported that they were stuck in gridlock on the eastbound lane at about 4:30 p.m., with traffic backing up all the way to Grand Bazaar.
The eastbound lane has been transformed from the far-right of the westbound lane to allow traffic to flow.

Isolated thunderstorms that crossed southwest and northeastern Trinidad are to blame for the current weather.
