(Township of Whitewater Region)
Public works crews in several areas across the Ottawa Valley are dealing with damaged roads caused by flooding.
Officials are cautioning drivers to be beware of potentially damaged roads and flooded areas.
In Whitewater Region, Zion Line is closed between Foresters Falls Road (County Road 7) and Westross Road due to overland flooding between 279 and 341 Zion Line.
Snake River Line is closed between Poff Road and Waterview Road due to overland flooding between 1369 and 1261 Snake River Line.
Sunday evening, the Town of Arnprior announced the closure of William Street from John Street to Daniel Street because of flooding asked the public to avoid the area.
Officials say the weekend’s heavy rainfall and heavy, melting snow means many culverts have been unable to keep up with the volume of water.
