REMO is currently working with residents on Walker Road and Simon Point Road in Chester to voluntarily evacuate due to the destabilization of the trail above their homes. A geotechnical engineer will assess the stability of the slope later this evening (July 27) to determine if there is potential that the condition of slope will deteriorate. If a mandatory evacuation is needed, we will know by 7:30 p.m. today (July 27). Please avoid the area. A map of the affected area is below.
If assisting residents, please be advised that the Old Stone Bridge (Hawboldt Bridge) on Victoria Street has been closed.
