According to the City, the road will be closed until further notice, and emergency vehicles will not have access.

“The City is aware of the flooding on Lower Patricia. This section of road typically experiences flooding each year when river levels reach the 8-meter threshold,” said a City Spokesperson in an emailed statement.

“Our Utilities team has closed the road at both ends and ensured the catch basins are open. The water is expected to recede over the next couple of days as river levels begin to drop.”
