As we are still expecting more rainfall and the flood watch staying in effect through Saturday night a list of roads is currently passable but have been marked with caution signs. 

Use caution when traveling on Markland Pike due to debris fields from mass water runoff. A hydroplane risk due to low level flooding in low spots on SR156. SR56 towards Madison has low level flooding in low spots as well and signs are already up. Spring Branch is down to one lane as of now.

Expect this list to grow as rain continues to fall and possible cresting of the river. The county will continue to survey the road conditions throughout the day.
