Coker Road from Kelly Road to the east side of Rice Bay will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, April 16, due to the increasing water Level on Black Sturgeon Lake, specifically Rice Bay. The closure affects all vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Following the closure, the Rice Bay water level will be monitored. When the level reduces, the road will be inspected for safe re-opening. The City will re-open the Coker Road only when it is safe to do so.
