Many areas across Illinois are dealing with flooding threats after several days of heavy rainfall. 

Flooding is causing road closures through the suburbs as a flood warning remains in effect.

Lake County officials are warning of flooding impacts along the Des Plaines River and Fox River after a reported nearly two inches of rainfall across the area. The rainfall overnight added to the flooding caused by rain this past week. 

Flooding was reported along the Des Plaines River, including south of Townline Road and in the Gurnee area.  The Village of Algonquin confirmed the Fox River is at 11.18 feet, which will cause moderate flooding in the floodplain.       

Officials said the North Branch Chicago River and Lake Michigan waterways were also impacted with higher water levels, but have started to recede.

Lake County officials released for residents. Sandbags have been passed out to residents to help stop the flooding. 

Gurnee, Illinois officials said due to rising water levels from the Des Plaines River, the following road closures are now in effect:

• Kilbourne Road is closed between Grand Ave and Route 41

• Old Grand Ave is closed between Grand Ave and Emerald Ave

Village of Lincolnshire said officials are monitoring the ongoing status of the Des Plaine River, which was determined to be at a moderate level. 

Lincolnshire officials said the Public Works crews were deployed overnight check facilities and critical infrastructure. So far, one service road, Londonderry Lane, is closed to traffic due to flooding.  

Crews are removed a downed tree in the area.
