Travel warning issued after Todd River peaks

Alice Springs police say that waters in the Todd River are now subsiding, but all causeways will remain closed overnight.

The river reportedly peaked earlier this evening after a storm that felled some trees and powerlines.

Police have asked all residents to remain indoors and postpone any unnecessary travel.

"If there's not a real necessity to be out and about, people should just stay at home and wait for the river levels to come down," Superintendent Sean Parnell said.
