Roads are closed to loaded trucks for breakup
With temperatures last weekend abnormally high, Lincoln County Roads Department Supervisor Mark McCully has closed county roads because of the spring thaw known as breakup.
“We’re closing them tomorrow,” McCully said Sunday. “The signs are going up (Monday).”

• The Wolf Creek Road No. 36 will be closed from MP 0 to MP 10.19, which is the junction of Syrup Redemption Road No. 2340.
