The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD) appeals to caution during this flood period.
A dozen road sections remain closed due to floods.
We were notified that there are people who move the obstacles when roads or bridges are closed. People do not know if there is something on the road that we do not see
warns the spokesperson for the Ministry of Transport, Nicole Gaulin.
The most recent closure concerns route 386 in the Belcourt sector. Light vehicles can no longer run up to the Paquin stream.
Traffic is alternating on route 113 near Senneterre.

The St-Edmond chemin in Val-d’Or, the Rang Lavigne in Rouyn-Noranda and the main street in Amos are completely closed.
Several bridges that cross the Turgeon river and the Leslie stream in the Val-Paradis and Beaucanton sector also remain closed.

In the case of a bridge, even if on the deck we no longer see water, the ministry cannot reopen the bridge as long as it has not been inspected to check if there is no damage that has been caused to the structure
specifies Nicole Gaulin.
It recalls that the flood is not completed in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and that road infrastructure could still be closed for several days.
