High water levels are keeping two bridges in Walkerton closed.

Local authorities say the water is no longer rising, but rapid recent snowmelt and rain over the weekend caused flooding in many low-lying areas.

They say if the water level drops enough, they’ll carry out inspections Wednesday before reopening the bridges for vehicles.
