ATTENTION

Due to the excessive rainfall in 2019, the roads in Brule County are extremely soft due to the standing water, saturated soil and the frost coming out of the ground. Please restrict heavy loads on our roads. Brule County has already had some roads that have been damaged severely and this limits emergency services to the residences along these roads, along with normal traffic and it is very costly to repair these areas. It is also unknown when it will be able to be repaired.
