UPDATE: From Sheriff Brian Schenck – NY State Route 38A has reopened along with numerous other secondary roadways at the southern end of Cayuga County. Continue to use caution when driving and watch for ongoing flooding that could impact driving. Also watch for debris in area roadways left by the flooding.
Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck says due to flooding and heavy rainfall, NY State Route 38A is closed from Dewitt Road in Niles to Sayles Corners Road in Moravia. Some secondary roads in the area are also flooded and impassable as well as numerous roads in King Ferry and the southern end of Cayuga County.
“Driving conditions may be hazardous in many of these locations,” said Sheriff Schenck in a news release. “Do not drive through flooded roadways as culverts could be washed out below the surface and some water ways could be moving swiftly and dangerously.”
Additional rainfall forecast for tonight may continue to make travel difficult in these areas tonight and tomorrow. Sheriff Schenck asks motorists to please plan accordingly.
