Rendezvous Road is closed until further notice from a stretch right at Federal all the way to St. Stephens Indian School due to a failure in the road. While the area has been patched according to road workers, the intense flash flooding this past Friday caused a failure in the culvert. Workers stated that it was fortunate that no one was hurt or crashed into the hole as it failed overnight on Friday and was not discovered until Saturday morning. While the failure hole has been filled, workers are waiting on pipe and concrete to finish off the fix and will also reroute water approximately 150 yards to the next culvert.
