Affected Areas


Miramichi River Basin: On April 23, a low-lying section of road leading to Johnson Bridge was flooded by the Northwest Miramichi River. Heavy rains and ice jams caused the high water levels. Motorists were detoured around the flooded area. Nearby, on the Little Southwest Miramichi River, Route 420 was also flooded, but to a lesser degree and no detour was required.
Miramichi River Basin: Approximately 0.15 metres of water covered the road leading to Johnson Bridge.
