Several people have still not returned to their homes near the Nashwaak River bridge after they were evacuated due to flooding caused by an ice jam. Karl Wilmot with the provincial Emergency Measures Organization tells CHSJ news homes were touched by the water and inspection teams have been sent in to ensure structural integrity.
Meanwhile, a portion of Route 107 in the Naashwalk area is completely impassable due a washout from flooding. There are also ice jams at the Durham Bridge and Marysville bridge–but so far only minor flooding. Wilmot says a storm surge is expected in the Saint John and Grand Bay-Westfield areas during high tides which could lead to flooding.
