KAMLOOPS — The Ministry of Transportation says the spring freshet is causing some flooding and damage in the Cariboo.
There have been over 100 sites affected so far. As of Friday, there were 8 roads closed and 59 still impacted in some way.
The ministry is also undertaking geotechnical engineering work at several major sites to assess options, and officials say they are doing as much proactive maintenance as they can to ensure culverts are cleared and stockpiling materials.
