St. Louis County Public Works re-opened six more roads Wednesday as water levels in area rivers and streams continue to recede. However, with more snow and rain in the forecast, motorists are urged to use caution in the event road conditions deteriorate again. Anyone encountering unsafe road conditions should call 911 to report the location.

Water levels are receding and repairs are being made. This allowed St. Louis County Public Works to reopen 10 roads Tuesday, including Highway 29 north of Floodwood. 

St. Louis County Public Works teams have been busy working on two fronts: clearing snow - as much as 6-8 inches fell in parts of the county - while also monitoring road conditions and making repairs when possible. Two more roads were closed today due to flooding or deteriorating conditions from the spring thaw. Meanwhile, five roads have re-opened today.

A map showing current road closures, as well as other resources related to flooding, can be found at stlouiscountymn.gov/flood. 

Highway 29 north of Floodwood has been closed near the Stremmel Road  intersection (just east of the TH 73 intersection) due to flooding. This is a paved road and is the primary route between Floodwood and Meadowlands. It runs alongside the St. Louis River, which is overflowing its banks and covering the road at this location.

Eleven new roads were closed Sunday to flooding or high water damage. A total of five roads were re-opened over the weekend.
