Steady rain over the weekend and into Monday caused flooding and road issues.
The Idaho Transportation Department was forced to close a portion of the northbound lane of U.S. Highway 95 near milepost 296 about 4 miles south of Lapwai due to erosion from swollen Lapwai Creek.
Nearby Webb Road was also closed due to flooding. An area of Lookout Road between Gifford and Reubens was closed with a detour to Settlement Road, and Southwick Grade near Kendrick was reduced to one lane of traffic.
Officials say issues affecting most of the roads in the region can’t be addressed until things dry out and high waters recede.
