Flood Details - 1964-04-16 - 1964-04-18

Saint John River Basin: In the Saint John River Basin, Route 21 across Keswick flats was inundated. At Fredericton, the parking lot behind City Hall was partly flooded. The ice run may have caused some damage to waterfront property, but no reports were carried in the newspapers. Ice cakes blocked a section of highway, at Lincoln, temporarily. In the Nashwaak Valley, an ice jam at Marysville Bridge forced its closure and some flooding occurred in the community. A few miles above Marysville, another ice jam caused flooding of Route 8 and a temporary closure. Route 25A, Nashwaak Bridge to Stanley, was closed to traffic but it is not known whether this was related to the flooding. Miramichi River Basin: In the Miramichi River Basin, residents of Boiestown and Doaktown waited in anticipation as a huge ice jam formed upstream of these communities.

The level of the Saint John River at Fredericton was in the order of 18.4 feet [5.61m].
