Highway 42 south in Kewaunee County is not the only road detour-free this week. Trunk E is back completely open after flooding this summer caused its temporary closure. High water levels in the Kewaunee River forced the roadway from Side Road to 1st Street in Kewaunee to be closed to traffic earlier this spring. The Kewaunee County Highway Department posted on social media Tuesday that the road has been reopened now that water levels have subsided. Substantial rainstorms back in May forced the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department to close a portion of County Trunk E after the river overflowed the banks.
