Lyon County Manager: Miller Lane in Yerington closed due to flooding
Lyon County has closed Miller Lane in Yerington due to flooding issues. In the past 48 hours Lyon County has discovered the road barriers moved and a county vehicle damaged, officials said.
The Road Department has filed a report with Lyon County Sheriff's Office and may be installing video surveillance until the road can be open, said Lyon County Manager Jeff Page.
He explained the road being closed is an inconvenience but necessary to protect the public and the integrity of the road. Based upon the tracks found it appears there may be damage to the road. If that is true the road may be closed longer to make the necessary repairs after the flood waters have receded.
The Sprague Ditch South of Pearl Street and East of Broadway in Yerington has blown out. It is currently dumping into the drain ditch.
Crews from the Road Dept., WRID and the Ditch Company are working to fix the breach. Currently there is no threat of flooding to homes in the area.
