- Ground footage: • BC: Ripped open part o...
Aerial footage filmed this afternoon Wednesday December 1st 2021 shows a normally very busy roadway entirely shut to regular traffic for the past two weeks. Highway 11 at the intersection of McCallum Road was ripped open by the sheer power of water flowing across and beneath it. Vehicular traffic has been heavy around the city of Abbotsford which suffered some of the most severe damage from recent floods.

Thanks for providing these great videos. Without them we couldn't see what's really happening. The BC government and the mainstream TV media only give you very limited snippets of information about the extent of flood damage. Thanks to CZcams we can really get a very comprehensive look. It's just amazing and unbelievable. I hope things get back to semi-normal very soon.
They should leave that section of road open and just award extra points for both height and length of air people can get. Hang time could be used as a tie breaker in the event of a tie.
Love the humour! It might be messy but sure would be entertaining 😅
Extra points if they end up in the water! 😲😆
Well, Maybe this time they will fix that SECTION Properly.
There isn't enough weight on the foam to keep it weighted properly and over time it has slowly risen as the ground sunk from erosion around the culverts. It was a very large, highly reputable contracting company that did the work. This was before the pond was dug in and filled with water which because it was higher, forced the foam blocks to float. That section of road should have been upgraded with the pond. The city is too cheap to do fixes or upgrades that engineers recommend to them until they fail.
This area of the road has been like this for years, heaving, cracking. Interesting as the railroad bed right beside it that supports much heavier weight is stable. Hopefully they can get this fixed and open soon. The #11 connects our 2 main east-west arteries. The Lougheed is crazy busy and is not meant to take all the traffic especially through the Ruskin corridor.
I wonder if they used foam blocks in that area to support the roadway and they floated causing this. Does anyone know?
Yes, it appears that it was built on foam. You can see it better in the ground video: czcams.com/video/3IanrFMHvN4/video.html
That was a bad spot, there was a couple of humps and bumps there before this
Lowest Bidder, to put in a drain pipe !
The Romans built roads on top of various layers of rock gravel and sand packed down without the aid of modern machinery; many of those roads are still in use well over a 1000 years later..

@TransportCanada I thought there was a NOTAM restricting all flight activities below 500 ft in the flood zone.
We now look to you and people like you to provide us with these eye-opening and devastating shots. Your drone footage is simply WONDERFUL! Can really take the time to look. Strange phenomenon, that upheaval of the road!
Shocking
The buckled spot has been problematic for many years. Time to rebuild the hwy properly.
Yup, all these low lying Hwys should be built up higher. I believe this spot on hwy 11 had a big dip in it.
Can you do old clayburn? Would like to see the state of things there.
Yet another great catch for you. Your footage is the best out there. Stay dry
Great drone footage! 👍🏻
Thanks for posting! and introducing me to 4k. Didn't even know it existed. It's a trip.
Earthquake zone?
What kind of drone and camera are you using? The picture is phenomenal
Like your vids. Good quality nicely edited and a big plus is, I believe, original audio!
Great footage, but where is the sound coming from? It can’t be the drone because we don’t hear the props.
My wife would really like that road to get fixed! Why are there not crews working on it!! Anyone knows. It's been 2 weeks.
Because they were expecting another flood? Lol.. seriously..
@@Leakstop247 well we had a week of dry weather after the first one. They are hard at work on lots of other areas they could of been for this area if we wait until we have weeks of no rainy days it will be six months
@@AllMyHobbies Atmospheric rivers are a bit different then "rain" notice the massive flooding beside the road? LMAO.. Grounds a bit saturated ya think??? Lol..
@@AllMyHobbies Don't worry.. I still love you
@@Leakstop247 it’s just rain like it has for ever here. they used to call them pineapple express. it was just a little more then we normally get with a combination of high tides that made the river high. and then the dike failed so we have a old lake refilling nothing out of the ordinary.
Ty again.

Awesome footage. It's going to take a while to fix everything.
Was only 2 lanes last time I was on it in 2010
Thanks for Being Awesome 👌
Robby Gordon wouldn't even blink at such a bump in the road!!!!
Hit it at 100 in his stadium truck no doubt.
Why is this not fixed yet? Where are the workers?
Do you think maybe its because it and the roads around it have been under water !!!!
@@lindaclarkq8326 More to do with the fact that it's a Liberal riding, all the roads on "John Horgan's" Vancouver Island were fixed long ago.
The water level has to go down, otherwise driving on the road that is floating with heavy machinery could damage it.
Why could they not open the southbound lanes to one lane traffic in each direction?
B/C that makes sense. And we can't have that now can we! 😲😆
I'm surprised they have not even started to repair this section of highway while it is in need of repair and is closed. Great arial footage though.
Umm maybe because more storms were coming and it would be a complete waste of time???
Need to build a Causeway
I thought that cabon taxes were going to prepare us for climate change?
😲😆 now that's funny!
With all the empty steel shipping containers here on the West coast can't they be used as temporary foundations..for roadway or bridges ??
the view with water on both sides at first looks rather pretty until you realize it is not supposed to look that way and until you see the destruction of he roads themselves
🇨🇦 They probabaly won't fix it till the water lvl goes down.
You know what they say. Shit happens in threes.
...Cheers...
Well they did build over a swamp

😳😔😥😔😥
COULD BE FIXED IN A MATTER OF HOURS WHATS GOING ON HERE?
Repent and believe the gospel of Christ. Baptize in his name and be saved. He is coming soon!! Like a thief in the night!! Watch out!!
