Water Over Road occurring in Westbrook subdivision of Peace River.
Heavy drainage from St. Germaine Creek combined with quick snowmelt from warm temperatures is leading to significant water flow down 80 Street.
The intersection at 80 Street and 120 Avenue is experiencing overland flow, as the culverts are overwhelmed.
Travellers may face difficult driving conditions or impassable roads overnight due to the swift-moving water.
Residents in the Westbrook subdivision should anticipate delays and prepare for potential road closures.
Public Works crews will evaluate the situation Tuesday morning and make repairs as necessary, but some temporary road closures may be needed.
