A Flood Warning continues until further notice for low-lying areas along the Sturgeon River downstream from Pelkie to Chassell.
As of Sunday evening, the river was nine inches above bankfull stage at some locations – high enough to push water over Sturgeon River, Rajala and Aho Roads in Houghton County.
In Baraga County, Sturgeon Road, Halonen Road and Usitalo Road are impacted, along with Froberg Road, Tahtinen Road, Irwin Road, Oliver Road and Shirley Road.
With additional rain and snow expected today, the Sturgeon is expected to remain at or above bankfull for at least the next several days.
Drivers are warned not to try to drive through flooded areas. If the road is covered, turn around and find a different route.
