The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is advising the public to avoid travelling on area roadways unless it is absolutely necessary. There have been multiple reports of localized flooding in numerous areas of the city. The Public Works department is currently working to maintain area roads and alleviate flooding concerns. Citizens are asked to give City crews time and space to do their jobs. Again, at this time Sault Police strongly recommend citizens avoid travelling on local roads unless absolutely necessary.
