Road reopen after two separate water main breaks in Mississauga
Some of the roadways that were heavily flooded following two separate water main breaks in Mississauga have reopened.
Peel Regional Police (PRP) tweeted shortly after 5 p.m. on Saturday that repairs on Lakeshore Road between Lorne Park Road and Ibar Way were finished and road closures had been lifted.
Police said the first water main break happened on Thursday afternoon, at around 4:30 p.m., on Lakeshore Road between Lorne Park and Mississauga roads.
PRP tweeted a video showing several vehicles trapped in waist-high water.
Officers add two people had to be rescued after their cars got stuck in the water. No injuries have been reported.
As a result of flooding, police said sinkholes started forming early Friday morning, at around 12:30 a.m., and the stretch of roadway was expected to remain closed until around 5 p.m. the same day.
The second severe water main break happened in the area of McLaughlin Road and Courtneypark Drive shortly before 7:30 a.m. on Friday.
PRP said in an update the road closures on McLaughlin Road between Courtney Park and Rothschild Trail would be in effect for the remainder of Saturday.
Until the roads reopen, PRP urges drivers to use alternate routes.
