Rainfall causes local road closures

Heavy rainfall has caused some roads to be temporarily closed in Georgian Bluffs.

The Township of Georgian Bluffs said on Wednesday afternoon that rainfall had caused the temporary closures of Bay View Lane from MacIntosh Drive to Presqu’ile Road, Kemble Rock Road from Concession 20 to Concession 21, and Zion Church Road North of Concession 21 to the bridge.

Staff is onsite to redirect drainage and to make repairs from flooding and washouts as weather permits.

The Grey Sauble Conservation Authority has issued a Flood Watch for the area, noting localized flooding along small watercourses and drainage ditches. They would like to remind everyone that high flows, unsafe banks, or other factors could be dangerous for residents and pets. Please stay back from riverbanks and away from fast moving water.
