Following the thunderstorms that occurred during the last few days, SR 88 and 89 were forced to close due to flash flooding and mud slides.

As of Saturday morning, SR 89 remains closed from the junction of SR 4 to four miles south of the East junction of SR 88 at Woodfords due to flood damage.

SR 88 has no traffic restrictions reported at this time.

Motorists must use an alternate route until the road is able to reopen.
