Three roads in Alexender closed due to flooding

By Howard B. Owens

From Thomas Lowe:

There are three roads in the Town of Alexander that are closed due to high water levels from flooding. They are Peaviner Road, Cookson Road, and Old Creek Road. These roads are under from five to twelve inches of water that is flowing very fast across them. The water has washed out gravel in the roadways and there are drop offs at these crossings that could trap a vehicles wheels and cause the flooding of the engine compartment. There are some ice sheets in the road that are approximately two inches thick. There are road closed barricades at the intersections of these roads, do not go around them, as the roads are very dangerous to traverse with the water crossing and the washouts cut into the gravel.
