Section of Stookesberry Road closed for flooding issue
LISBON -- A section of Stookesberry Road is closed for now where there's a dip and the road is flooded over off of state Route 45 outside Lisbon.
Columbiana County Engineer Bert Dawson announced the closure, which happened Sunday after heavy rains, saying the creek coming down near a culvert has flooded over the road, adding "there's nothing we can do. It's all backing up from downstream.
Dawson said motorists can go on state Route 45 and backtrack at the other end of Stookesberry to gain access.
He also said the Ohio Department of Transportation is aware and can't do anything either. He's expecting the road to reopen after the water recedes.
