Water flooded into a parkade on Jan. 16, 2020 after a water main break in Victoria.
Part of a covered parking lot was also covered.
A section of Bay Street near Blanshard Street was blocked off while crews cleaned up the water. The road reopened just after 8 a.m.
Dwayne McDonald with the City of Victoria said the water main broke sometime overnight on Bay Street and started to flood downstream in a construction area.
“We could see the roads all heaved. There’s some damage going on,” McDonald said.
McDonald said he expected crews would be in the area until 3:30 p.m. as some road base needs to be repaved.
