ASHBURTON COUNTY ROADS CUT BY FLOODS.—-Heavy rain in the Ashburton County for three days has caused flooding in the Ashburton river and its tributaries. Wash-outs and scouring have closed several roads. TOP LEFT: Looking across the bridge over Boyers stream, which provides direct access between Ashburton Forks and Mount Somers. About a chain of the bridge approach was washed away on Friday night. TOP RIGHT: The South Ashburton river cut this gap in the south approach to the Mount Somers bridge. BOTTOM LEFT: Residents of the Mount Somers district inspecting the damage. BOTTOM RIGHT: The flooded Boyers stream cut this 7ft-deep channel through the road approach at the height of the flood.
