Flooded roads continue to affect residents within the boundaries of the City of Salmon Arm.

Currently Foothill Road remains closed as crews are working to manage high water flows, mud and debris.

害羞草研究所淲e have had to create a dam down the centre of the road to help contain this unusual water flow,害羞草研究所 says Ted Whanstall, city roads and transportation supervisor.

害羞草研究所淚t is likely to remain closed for some time as the contractors work,害羞草研究所 he said, noting there has been superficial damage to gardens and driveways but limited damage to any structures.

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檝e been able to keep main buildings intact and the situation is fairly well contained now, as long as we don害羞草研究所檛 get any more sudden cloudbursts,害羞草研究所 says Whanstall.

In addition Okanagan Ave east of 60th Street is still problematic and will also be closed for the foreseeable future.

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檝e got a machine there to protect the culvert and ensure it keeps running,害羞草研究所 says Whanstall.

A few roads in Gleneden near Gayle Creek are also partially blocked, however, are still passable at this time. These are roads with very low volumes of traffic.

Problems with culverts overflowing are creating some of the issues and roadway repairs may be needed once the flooding situation has receded.
