A potential failure of the Erie Shore Drive dike has led Chatham-Kent's mayor to declare a "state of emergency" for residents in the area. "Erie Shore Drive is currently closed except for local traffic. Administration is also asking council to close Erie Shore Drive indefinitely starting Mar. 9 "from address 18416 to the intersection of Erie Shore Drive and Erieau Road," the municipality added. Officials have urged all residents of Erie Shore Drive and Erieau to attend.
