The bridge leading to the small Mercier Island in northwest Montreal was closed on Wednesday. Fire department (SIM) and police (SPVM) said there have been no evacuations.
Residents living on a small island in northwest Montreal are watching and waiting anxiously as water levels rise and they have no way off the island.
"We got them sandbags pretty soon, probably two weeks ago, we've got water pumps working on the other side, but with mother nature, it's never sure," he said. "I hope we don't have too much rain in the next few days." "We made the decision that it was safest for everyone to close the bridge right now," said Montreal fire department chief Martin Guilbault. "We're not asking people to leave. If they leave the island, they can't return."
Montreal police commander Michael McDermott is leading the police flood response and said Anse a l'Orme Road at Timberlea-Trail Street was also closed in Kirkland.
