Flood Details - 2017-02-27 - 2017-03-01

A section of Route 106 between Dorchester and Memramcook was closed on Monday, February 27th, due to localized flooding from a clogged culvert. The flooding stranded a small number of people and caused detours for many residents travelling to and from work. Flood waters receded on March 1st, and one lane was reopened to traffic. The entire road was passable later that day for the first time in a week.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Canadian National Railway have been working on a solution to the flooding. A spokesperson for Canadian National said the culvert had recently been replaced.
