Cary, IL – Drivers in Cary and surrounding McHenry County areas are being asked to avoid Rawson Bridge Road today after officials announced a full closure due to flooding.
According to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Rawson Bridge Road is shut down between Broken Oar Road and Tuxedo Lane until further notice as rising water levels have made the roadway unsafe for travel. Authorities did not provide a timeline for reopening, indicating the closure will remain in place until conditions improve.
The affected stretch is a commonly used local route, particularly for residents traveling between Cary and nearby communities. Flooding in the area follows recent weather conditions that have increased water levels in low-lying zones, impacting road safety.
Officials are urging motorists to use alternate routes and to respect posted barricades and signage. Driving through flooded roadways can be dangerous, as water depth and road conditions may not be immediately visible.
No injuries or stranded vehicles have been reported in connection with this closure as of now. However, authorities continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as conditions change.
Residents are encouraged to stay alert for additional closures in flood-prone areas across McHenry County, especially during periods of heavy rain or rapid snowmelt.
