Brown said that county crews worked overtime Friday and Saturday trying to ensure the safety of roads and bridges. He said motorists should approach all washed out and previously flooded areas with caution.
Damage to Baker Hollow Road may prevent it from being open until later this week.
As of Monday, the following county and state roads and highways were closed: Baker Hollow, Weston, Phin Croft, Enon Church, Providence, Hebron Church, Blackford Church, Cool Springs, Ky. 135 at Sawmill Hollow, Ky. 120 at Montezuma Bridge at county line, Ky. 132, Ky. 1917 and Ky. 91 at the Cave In Rock Ferry.
Motorists should use caution approaching any of these roads.
Judge Brown said that the recent heavy rainfall coupled with severe winter storms in February and March have been especially hard on area roads. So far, the county has not received any state disaster relief for those damages. Damage has been widespread. Large sections of asphalt have washed out in many places, culverts have been washed out or damaged, bridge decks have washed partially away or suffered from washouts underneath and gravel roads have suffered tremendously.
