The Rural Municipality of Morris has issued a new road closure notice due to spring flooding. As of April 2026, Road 2W between Provincial Road 205 and Mile 35N is closed to traffic.

This is the latest in a series of closures caused by saturated conditions this spring. An earlier notice also reported that a section of Road 2W between Road 30N and 31N remains closed due to water. Local roads in the area have a history of experiencing damage and turning to mud during times of excessive moisture.

Despite these local road issues, the broader impact of the spring flood season is expected to be minimal for the community. Morris Mayor Scott Crick noted earlier this month that the 2026 season should have little impact on the area, contrasting it with the major flooding experienced in 2022.

On April 20, 2026, the provincial Hydrologic Forecast Centre issued a bulletin warning that warmer temperatures are accelerating snowmelt. Residents looking for more information on road conditions or who need to make service requests can contact the municipal office at 204-746-7300.
