Water over the Road Signs Posted

Davis Lk from Lane to Ashton
North Shore from Davis Lk to Calvin Hill
Chapel Hill from Tharp Lk to Calvin Ctr
Tharp Lk from Chapel Hill to Hawks St

More rain is being forecasted for the coming days and weeks so similar flooding activity is expected if rain totals are substantial. The traveling public is urged to you caution during upcoming rain events and anticipate water over the road in these area in particular
or any other areas that are known to commonly flood during excessive rain. Attempting to cross areas where water stands more than a couple inches deep or is running over the road can cause damage to the roadway due to washouts and sink holes in the gravel under the pavement. This can be dangerous. Several people were stranded over the weekend and had to be rescued. In situations such as these you are recommended to turn around and find an alternate route when ever possible.
