35.4 Height of the bridge road surface.
30.1 Water reaches the bottom of the bridge.
24 State Highway A north of Monticello will flood near this height. The only two times this road has closed in recent memory was in 1973 and in 2008. The 1973 flood was reportedly two feet higher at the highway.
21.3 At this height and the Middle Fabius at about 16.8, State Highway V began flooding in May 2010 below the confluence of the North and Middle Fabius Rivers. With an increase to 22.1 feet on the North Fabius and an increase to 17.2 feet on the Middle Fabius, water rose to a depth of about a foot on this highway. This assumes travel times of 4 hours from EWNM7 gage and 6 hours from the EWMM7 gage.
20.5 Olive Street (Lewis County Road 585) begins flooding near the intersection with 280th Street (County Road 588).
18 Juniper Avenue (Lewis County Road 513) will be flooded at this height.
