Ellis County crews are working to cleanup following the weekend’s heavy rains.

Public Works Director Bill Ring said Tuesday afternoon crews are still working throughout the county, and it is going to take a while for workers to repair all of the roads and bridges that were washed out.

Ring said they are asking the public to avoid traveling on county roads if at all possible and, if people must travel in the county, drivers need to “take their time and use caution.”

To report road issues, residents are asked to call non-emergency dispatch at (785) 625-1011.
