Bagging at Smithland against the Ohio River

The Ohio River continues to threaten homes and in the case of this photo, the City of Smithland in Livingston County.

Sand bags have been placed along the riverfront to keep the swollen river from encroaching upon more property.

A short, in-town detour was set up in Smithland on Wednesday because high water had closed US 60 at one point in the town. However, that closure has now ended and traffic is moving through Smithland on US 60.
