Traffic Alert: Please Be careful traveling down CR NW 2002 Road East of Dunlap corner in rural Amoret.
There is a huge hole washed out in the road right above the creek. It has cones around it, but I'm personally skeptical about the integrity of the whole culvert.
The Road and Bridge people keep dumping gravel into the holes and then they wash right back out again. This one is super deep and probably four to five feet in diameter. - Courtesy of Susie Smalley
