Orange City, Iowa — It’s been a wet spring. While we can be thankful we don’t have issues in the magnitude that Nebraska and southwest Iowa are facing, flooding has affected many roads in northwest Iowa.
We got an update on the flooded and flood-damaged gravel roads in Sioux County from County Engineer Doug Julius.
He says the hard-surfaced roads are in better condition.
Julius says some of the bridges remain in unknown condition.
He tells us that for the most part, people can get around on the roads that are open, but he says they may find more damage.
While heavy rain is not in the immediate forecast, we may get some rain in the coming days. High temperatures will remain in the 50s, and the National Weather Service says river flooding continues and will increase over the next weeks.
