The River Callan has burst its banks this afternoon (Tuesday).
Police have issued a warning to drivers to “reduce speed immediately” and to “expect sudden flooding in most areas around Armagh“.
The Tassagh, Milford and Killylea Roads are areas most at risk.
SDLP Councillor Thomas O’Hanlon said he is dealing with a lot of flooding reports across the Keady area and that he has been liaising with Rivers Agency and Roads Service.
He has reported issues at Crossmore Gardens, St Matthew’s, Rathmoyle, Granemore Road, Castleblaney Road, Lower Clea Road, Tassagh Road, Dundrum Road, Keady Road at Beechill.
“If your property is at risk of flooding please get in touch. Two Squads from Rivers Agency are in the area dealing with issues,” said Councillor O’Hanlon.
Earlier he reported how the Keady Road, Armagh at Primate’s Wall, between Rock Road junction and Newtownhamilton Road, was impassable with vehicles stuck in the rising floods.
