Flood Warning - Roads Closed

Richland County is under a flood warning and many areas throughout the County have experienced or are experiencing flooding at this time. Due to heavy rain overnight, creek and river levels in Richland County remain elevated. This includes Mill Creek, the Pine River basin, and Willow Creek.

If you have travel plans in southwest Wisconsin, be alert that some roads may be damaged or closed. Do not drive into crossing water.

Several roads have been closed due to high water including: State Hwy 80 north near County Hwy D at Rockbridge, County Hwy C and State Hwy 80 and Mullendoore Dr near County Hwy A.

Do not drive cars into flooded areas. Remember, it only takes two feet of water to float most automobiles, including sport utility vehicles. Turn Around, Don`t Drown!
