Notice lifted
The temporary road closure on Lovering Line has been lifted as of 7:30 a.m., April 6, 2023.
Notice of road closure on April 5
Lovering Line (Upper Big Chute Road to Laughlin Falls Road) is closed until further notice due to flooding. There is no through access at 1531 Lovering Line.
Township staff are patrolling this and other areas across Severn to assess concerns and ensure melting snow is draining when required. It is normal for water to pool in ditches and around catch basins in wet weather. Although drainage of these areas may take longer, the water should drain naturally.
What to do during a flood
In the event of flooding, here are some tips you can follow:
- when approaching a flooded area, don't guess the depth of the water
- avoid crossing bridges if the water is high and flowing quickly
- don't drive through floodwater and never cross a flooded area on foot
- find another route if necessary
- if your home or business has flooded, watch for electrical shock hazards and gas leaks or odours (sewage)
- don't enter a flooded area, especially if there is any concern that structural integrity has been compromised
We'll monitor flood conditions and deploy sand and bags for you to protect your property if a flood occurs.
