The Adams County Roads Department is watching the sky, hoping storms don't further damage their roads. According to the superintendent, two thirds of the county's roads have been damaged by this summer's constant rains.
Rains have taken their toll on Adams County roads.
"We're seeing some weakening in culvert areas. We're seeing the possibility of weakening in our bridges as well as we're seeing some sides of the roads completely gone," said Loren Uden, Adams County Emergency Management.
And over the last month, crews have constantly worked on damaged county roads.
"We've been out taking pictures of damaged areas and you know, doing our assessments," said Greg Anderson, Adams County assistant highway superintendent.
"Our road crews have been out trying to repair the various roads that have been damaged over the past month but with new rain a lot of the work that they've done has been washed away," Uden said.
Some roads have been repaired five times already, and so as the county braces for more rain, they're asking residents to use caution.
"You really need to pay attention to the roads where there's water running over the roads. That area might not have a lot of gravel on it anymore, so it may be primarily mud. So if you try to drive through that, there may not be roadway underneath that water or it could be a lot of mud where you're going to be stuck in that section," Uden said.
And officials say Adams County isn't alone. Many Nebraska counties that have experienced heavy rains are in the same boat.
"I think it's probably pretty much spread through a lot of counties. I don't think Adams County is necessarily by themselves," Uden said.
Officials say constantly repairing these county roads could put a strain on many Nebraska county's budget. In Adams County, repair estimates are already around $250,000.
