FOUNTAIN CITY, Wis. – After 10 days, traffic was allowed through flood-prone North Shore Drive through Fountain County. Traffic moved slowly around road crews dropping gravel into pits where Mississippi flood waters seeped, then shot up through the pavement. Meanwhile, townspeople have begun removng sandbags that had kept the river itself from encroaching.

Again accessible: Fountain City Ford, Wing Dam Saloon and Grill, Golden Frog, River Valley Mutual Insurance, Bronston Chiropractic, Ole Je’s Bar, and the Monarch beer garden.
