With some areas of Ellis County receiving more than five inches of rain over the last few days, public works crews are expected to stay busy.

Public Works Director Bill Ring told the county commission Monday evening crews have been coning-off areas that have been washed out by the heavy rains.

Ring said when the rain stops, crews will work to repair the roads.

“Everybody will be out blading trying to get through it. They’re really pretty rough right now,” Ring said.

As of Monday night two roads had been closed by Public Works, the 900 block of Yocemento and a portion of 210th Avenue are both closed to through traffic.

Ellis County is in a Flood Warning until 3:15 Tuesday afternoon.
