Rain Closes C.W. Co. Roads

The heavy rain Tuesday night and Wednesday morning has resulted in numerous road closures in northeast Crow Wing County.  Assistant Maintenance Supervisor Jory Danielson says motorists will have to take detours.

As of 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, County Road 1 at Swanburg is closed, alternate routes are C.R. 15 and 66.  County Road 36 east of Olson-Mercantile to the Aitkin County line is closed.  And, C. R. 105 is closed from C. R. 1 to C.R. 36.

Danielson says crews will try to fill gaps to allow for the reopening of the county road, but they will have to allow the water to recede naturally for a long term solution.
