There are still hundreds of roads affected by flooding across Queensland's south-east.

However, travel on all toll roads is now free, to assist drivers in clean-up efforts.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the toll suspension came into effect on the tunnel from 8am on Tuesday and would last until midnight Sunday.

Mr Bailey urged drivers to reconsider any non-essential travel at this time, due to heavy traffic volumes.

"We are seeing more cars on the road as the rain clears and people get back out there, but I ask everyone to reconsider your travel if you do not need to be out and about," he said.

"Public transport is operating at a reduced capacity, so if you do need to travel, please plan ahead and expect some delays on our roads.

As the floodwaters go down, Transport and Main Roads will inspect bridges and culverts to ensure roads can be opened as quickly and safely as possible.

The toll suspension extends to the Gateway and Logan motorways, AirportLink tunnel and Toowoomba Bypass, as well as the Legacy way, Clem 7 and the Go Between Bridge.

Here are all the roads which have been closed, damaged or are covered in debris in the south-east:
