Sections of Highways in Northern Wisconsin Washed Away by Torrential Rain

HAYWARD, Wis. (AP) — Torrential rain from some strong storms has washed out sections of highways in northern Wisconsin and closed other roads.

The Ashland County Sheriff's Office urged against travel in the county because many local roads are flooded.

Sections of U.S. Highway 2 and state Highway 13 south of Highbridge were closed Tuesday.
