Beltrami County continues to deal with roads that are closed, posted as caution, or otherwise impaired by the high water levels. Please use caution in driving on these roads and call our Law Enforcement Center at 333-9111 if you encounter a sinkhole or other dangerous defect in a road that is not marked as such. Our township and public works folks are working hard to assure that all problems are addressed but help from our citizens is very much appreciated. Drive safe.
