The Highway Hotline has posted that Highway 5 east of Watson, near Wimmer, has been closed due to water over the road. Water is also over Birch Road 13 kilometres east of Highway 23 in the Carrot River area.  

There is also flooding on Railway Ave. in the community of Brancepeth, west of Melfort with water on or over the road there as well. 

The Highway Hotline is reporting flooding on Highway 25, about 4 km east of St. Louis. The same is true on Highway 920, just east of Highway 106 in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. 

Further away, Highway 2 north of Wakaw is closed due to a washout, along with Highways 165 and 918 near Beauval in Northern Saskatchewan.

Local detours are in place at those sites, and you’re asked to obey all signage. 

Check the Highway Hotline to ensure your travels aren’t interrupted due to flooding over roads.
