Road Closures Due to Flooding

Recent flooding across McHenry County continues to cause road closures as water levels are expected to rise. Barricades and closure signs have been placed to help keep people safe, protect nearby homes and property, and allow emergency crews to get where they need to go.

Please do not drive around or through barricades. It is dangerous, illegal, and can cause additional damage to nearby properties. We ask everyone to be a good neighbor during this time by respecting closures, avoiding unnecessary travel in flooded areas, and giving crews room to work.

Drivers who ignore barricades or closure signs may be ticketed. Conditions can change quickly, so continue to use caution and watch for updates on the Sheriff’s Office mobile app and social media. You can download our app here.
