10/16/18 Seward Bear Creek Flooding Response
Turn Around Don’t Drown! Heavy rainfall and breached
streams are heavily impacting roads in the Seward, Bear Creek and Lowell Point
communities. As of 10/16/18, the Solid Waste Transfer site and Dieckgraeff Road
is closed as well as Bruno Road due to flooding and breached embankments. Use
caution traveling to the Seward area, slow down when approaching water across
roadways, watch for road closure and detour signs.
Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock over an
adult. Only eighteen inches of flowing water can carry away most vehicles,
including large SUVs. It is impossible to tell the exact depth of water
covering a roadway or the condition of the road below the water. This is
especially true at night when your vision is more limited. It is never
safe to drive or walk through flood waters. Any time you come to a flooded
road, walkway, or path, follow this simple rule: Turn Around Don’t Drown.
More information will be provided as response measures
change.
