A beaver dam failure washed out part of Hughes Landing Road in Addington Highlands Monday night but as of 10am Tuesday morning, the Township roads department had it back in action, said Reeve Henry Hogg.

“I just talked to the roads supervisor (Brett Reavie) and he told me they were just putting the finishing touches on,” said Hogg. “They worked through the night.”

Hogg said the reason for the washout was the failure of a beaver dam on Crown Land.

“The dam was on Crown Land, which means we’re responsible for fixing it,” he said.
