The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office has issued a call for caution when traveling on the rural roadways in our area.  The recent rash of warmer weather and rainfall has caused washouts and flooded roadways.

Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done to correct the situation with immediate results.  The spring thaw often brings reoccurring problems to roadways that resolve themselves once the ground has started to accept the standing water.

Be smart if you must travel these roadways.  If you encounter a road that is water-covered or washed out, don't attempt to navigate it.
