After a week full of severe weather, you may have to wait for routes to work, school and home to dry out before some repairs are made.

At nearly 7.9 inches of precipitation recorded at its Green Bay office, the National Weather Service says this is the wettest April on record, with 10 days still to go.

The heavy rainfall caused some Door County municipalities to require property owners to redirect their sump pump discharge outside the home or to designated drainage areas because of the stress the storms placed on wastewater systems.

Rising, fast-moving water also put additional strain on the area’s roadways. There were at least 10 locations where water crossed roadways, washing away gravel shoulders. In two spots near County T, Bechtel Road and County WD, crews will have to address areas where culverts were compromised. Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says that until the water recedes in many areas, placing road barriers and posting detour signs is all crews can do.

Ash says people have been moving barriers to get where they need to go, something that could cause issues for both the road and their vehicles if they do not know what is underneath. Crews will begin work on County T between Ploor Road and Bechtel Road and on Bechtel Road between County T and County WD on Tuesday and should be done within the next day or two.
