Lake County, FL – Several roads across Lake County remain closed Wednesday following recent storm damage that caused flooding and debris hazards, according to Lake County Emergency Management. Officials are urging residents to use extreme caution and obey detour signage when traveling through affected areas.
According to the agency’s road damage map, closures include Hazard Avenue, Minnesota Drive, Donnelly Street, Britt Road, and Wolf Branch Road. The impacted areas span communities near Eustis, Mount Dora, and Tavares, where crews are currently assessing damage and clearing standing water.
Authorities warn drivers not to attempt to cross flooded roads, as water levels may conceal severe pavement damage. “Do not drive through standing water. Updates will be provided as conditions change,” the department said in its public advisory.
Storm recovery efforts are ongoing across central Florida after several inches of rain fell earlier this week, overwhelming drainage systems and washing out roadways. Officials have not yet provided an estimated timeline for reopening the affected routes.
Residents are encouraged to check the Lake County Emergency Management social media pages for updated closure information and safety alerts.
