FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Natchitoches Parish President Rick Nowlin has released the attached updated list of 55 Parish roads with flooding issues resulting from today’s heavy rainfall.

Mr. Nowlin stresses that this list consists only of issues of which the Parish Highway Department is aware at this time, and that it is likely that many other road issues exist that have not yet been reported.

In addition, citizens should be aware that, due to the overwhelming number of road issues and the shortage of barricades and available personnel, it has not been possible to barricade every flooded road.

Therefore, motorists are advised to remain vigilant and to exercise extreme caution when traveling near all flood-prone areas, even though the specific road on which they happen to be traveling are not contained on the list.

Again, motorists are cautioned against driving through flooded areas, as hidden dangers may exist that could cause vehicle damage, injury, or even loss of life.

Updates will continue to be issued as they become available.

For additional information, please contact the Parish Highway Department at (318) 357-2200.
