ORIGINAL STORY

Nearly 50 roads were closed this morning in Vernon county due to flooding overnight.

The Vernon county sheriff’s office says most of the road closures are due to water still over the roads.

But some roads have washed out and will need significant repair before getting open again.

Big problems in Coon Valley with highway 14 closed from both sides of the village. A mudslide blocked off access from the west and water over a bridge closed the highway from the east. Highway 162 was also closed north of the village.

Highway 35 was closed in three different sections in Vernon county because of high water.

Highway 35 was also closed in La Crosse county and BNSF tracks near Goose Island were compromised due to high water.

More than two dozen roads were closed in Monroe county according to the sheriff’s department. Five of those because bridges have washed out.

Current road information in La Crosse, Monroe and Vernon counties as of 11 a.m. August 28th.  Information provided by area law enforcement and could be subject to change.  Will be updated.
