A stretch of Elk View Road will be closed Thursday and Friday (Dec. 2-3) as City of Chilliwack crews work on flood repair.

Starting at 7 a.m. the road will be shut down from the three-way stop to upper Ryder Lake Road, limited to local traffic only.

A picture sent out with a City of Chilliwack tweet Wednesday afternoon (Dec. 1) shows land at the side of the road has been eroded by water, exposing the underside of the asphalt.
