Bruce Highway
The
Bruce Highway is the major and only coastal main north
south highway in the region. In order to prevent road
transport from being stopped by minor flooding across
the highway, it was raised sometime in the past. During
major flooding the highway acts as a giant low dam, backing
up huge volumes of water and making it harder for the
area to quickly drain of flood waters. In backing up
there is potential for the waters to flood numerous home
and businesses.
