The Becker County Highway Department has closed several roads due to high water and washouts.
County maintenance supervisor John Okeson said County Road 157, which is in Walworth Township, is washed out in two places.
Okeson said work crews are waiting for the water to go down before repairing the damage. He said the repairs would likely be done at the end of this week.
County engineer Brad Wentz said several other roads incurred washouts last week due to the sudden melt. Another road is County Road 106 north of Audubon.
Wentz said a county crew would be repairing that road this week as well.

Vehicle weight limits remain in effect on all county roads, and will continue until the spring melt is over and the roadbeds harden.
