The Lyon County Highway Department has cleared nearly 15 roads and intersections for normal traffic flow after they were impacted by flooding earlier this week.
The Highway Department has reopened:
*Road 135 between Road V6/V7 and W
*Road 190 west of Road P
*Road 210 between Road K and Kansas Highway 99; between Roads M and N
*Road 215 between Roads J and K
*Road 260 west of Road P
*Road H between Roads 230 and 240.
*Road J between Roads 200 and 210
*Road K between Roads 190 and 210
*Road P between Roads 250 and 270
*Road S between 150 and 160; between Road 160 and 170
*Road W between Roads 123 and 135
The Lyon County Highway Department will also close Road P between Roads 140 and 150 on Friday for road maintenance. That stretch of Road P was closed earlier in the week due to flooding.
Roads are getting fixed after the Neosho River went out of its banks between Americus and Neosho Rapids earlier this week — the result of 3-8 inches of rainfall in Lyon County on Sunday. Other areas of Lyon County had notable flooding as well.
