Johnson County Road Closings
Multiple roads in Johnson County are closed due to high water and area authorities have been helping motorists who have chosen to drive through high water.
Sheriff Duane Burgess says one call occurred at 2744 South CR225W, Franklin, where a driver chose to drive through extremely high water. Three people had to be rescued by the Bargersville Fire Department. Rescuers gathered the trio from the roof of the vehicle as water rushed into it.
Sheriff Burgess says the Johnson County Sheriffs Office Dive Team are on stand-by awaiting to assist. Authorities are imploring you to not drive through high water. They say you do not know how deep the water is, how swift its moving.
The Johnson County Highway Department is out placing barricades up closing multiple roads. You are asked to obey the signage and not drive around the barricades.
Here is a list of roads that are currently closed:
