The Ellis County Public Works Department is advising that due to recent snow storms, coupled with the thawing activities that have transpired since those storms, many unpaved Ellis County roads have become difficult to travel at this time.

In some cases, there are roads that have become impassable which has forced our department to close those locations for travel until further notice.

Pending rainfall forecasted for our area this week, should it materialize, will further deteriorate current road conditions.

We are asking those traveling unpaved roads in Ellis County to slow down, use caution and be aware of current road conditions before making any travel plans.

Your cooperation on this matter is truly appreciated.

If you have any questions on current road conditions or wish to report a road issue, please contact the Ellis County Public Works department at (785)-628-9455.
