Cecil Plains Moonie Rd, near Opal Creek, is completely cut off, with at least one metre of fast flowing water cutting off the road.
A Queensland Police spokesperson said authorities' first became aware of the hazard at 1.20pm on Monday, January 4, and local council and traffic control have since been notified.
Tara Kogan road, near Kogan, is also experiencing minor flooding.
The Western Downs region is set to be hit with ongoing wet conditions over the next four days which may lead to more flooding, so residents need to keep in mind - if it's flooded forget it.
