The Flint River was at 14.2 feet at Highway 36 in Upson County Friday morning and is expected to rise several more feet, potentially closing bridges in Pike County. Flood stage is at 12 feet.
The river could crest at 19-20 feet. Residents near the Highway 16 bridgee should remain aware of rising water levels.
Possible road and bridge closures could occur on Line Creek Road, Blanton Mill Road, Crowder Road, West Ellis Road, Parker Road, Landing Way and Campground Road.
The Highway 16 roadway and bridge are being closely monitored as well as rising water levels by GDOT for a possible bridge closure.
Flood stage is not 12 feet but does vary. Here near the Molena Still Branch location the flood stage is 32 feet ( I live on the river near this point ). Check your USGS 02344872 before printing without a sourced fact.
