According to the Camden County Sheriff’s Department, Lake Road 7-13, in the area of Bollinger Creek is also impassable but crews from Camden County Road and Bridge are working to remove damaged asphalt and add temporary fill.

Dodds Camp remains inaccessible to crews working to restore power to the areas.

Cup Tree, on the northern most Camden County line, should not be used and parts of Dawson Road in the city of Camdenton have been severely damaged. That area is currently under a boil order.
