Blackhawk Island Road Question II

Hi Brian,
I have been following your Blog daily and noted someone had replied to my question about the flooding of Blackhawk Island Road about ten days ago. They had mention, the road would be passable when the water level was down to about 10 feet.

For what ever reason, I can't tell if the road is passable or not with the info I am seeing on the Blog.
Can you or anyone else let us know if the road is open to the end?

Thank you
Jim McEvoy
