Lafayette County residents that take County Road 100, or Highway 314, to get home will have to take a detour.

The county road department has closed County Road 100 at the bridge, due to water coming over the bypass as heavy rain pours over Lafayette County, according to an email from the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department.

In an email to parents, the county is advising traffic from out in that area to go from County Road 100, to County Road 107, to County Road 105 and to Highway 6 to get around the closed roads.
