Jefferson County - Rock RIver Road Closures

ANOTHER CLOSURE — “Road Closed” signs blocked access to Rock River Road east of Fort Atkinson this morning as the rising Rock and Bark rivers swallowed up the roadway. Rivers across Jefferson County are forecast to continue their rise throughout the weekend.

In Jefferson, the Rock River was measured at 10.7 feet and is expected to rise to 11.5 feet by Saturday afternoon. Moderate flood stage is 11 feet. Pictured above is Rock River Road with its “Road Closed” signs and water over the pavement. — Daily Union photo by James Debilzen.
