Flooding caused by the weekend’s rainfall has resulted in the closure of three city parks and county roads in the Ormond Beach area.
Sanchez Park, Cassen Park and Ames Park were closed after being affected by tidal flooding caused by high winds and the storms in the Atlantic, said city Public Works Director Shawn Finley in an email. The city is monitoring and “taking actions where necessary to not impede natural recovery, and when possible encourage it,” Finley said.
The city expects water levels to drop once winds die down.
Volusia County announced Tuesday, Sept. 22, that it closed three roads because of unsafe driving conditions.
“Extreme tidal conditions have resulted in elevated water levels in the Tomoka and Halifax river basins, causing these roads to become inundated with water,” the press release stated.
The roads are: Highbridge Road from John Anderson Drive to Walter Boardman Lane; North Beach Street from Inglesa Avenue to Pine Tree Drive; and Walter Boardman Lane from Highbridge Road to Old Dixie Highway.
Roads will be reopened when the water recedes.
