Caution urged as warmer temperatures lead to localized flooding
Localized flooding has led to some road closures and washouts around the region, and drivers are advised to be cautious.
Graders, trucks and barricades are out as communities grapple with flooded roadways due to the spring melt. With warmer temperatures finally upon us, drivers are advised to be cautious and watch for signs when travelling.
Ryan Scragg, Reeve of the Rural Municipality of Garden River, said the spring melt is higher than average this year. The RM closed parts of the Garden River Road for about 12 hours Sunday evening, starting at 8 p.m. The culverts are now able to keep up and the road has since been re-opened, he added.
The RM shared a video on their Facebook page showing the extent of the flooding along the Garden River Road.
