Route 307 in Val-des-Monts closed late Saturday night due to high water levels, the municipality says.

According to a Maxime Daigle, the communications coordinator for Val-des-Monts, the road is closed near Chemin Corriveau in Saint-Pierre-de-Wakefield. There is a detour on Chemin de l’Église.

In a post on Facebook on Saturday, the municipality said multiple roads became impassable due to strong thunderstorms in the area, however Route 307 is currently the only closed road.

Daigle said there is still too much water on Route 307 for Public Works and the Quebec Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility to properly assess the situation, so no timeline has been given for when the road may reopen.
