A portion of Water Street South was closed Friday morning due to flooding.

Water from the Grand River could be seen spilling onto the shoulder and partially submerging the southbound lane.

Water Street South was closed between Concession Street and Myers Road. Despite the closure, some drivers continued to drive around the blockade.

The road has reopened. In an email to CTV News, a representative for the City of Cambridge said the Grand River Conservation Authority determined the river wouldn’t rise anymore.

The city is still monitoring several other areas of concern as they believe the Speed River will continue to raise through the day on Friday.

City staff recommend avoiding Riverside Park due to flooding and Moyer’s Landing & Mill Run Trail are closed.
