On social media, the Mitchell County Sheriffs Department, reported K Road (Tipton Black Top) is closed from 250 Road to 280 Road. "Please make other arrangements to go around this area if you need to travel in the area southwest of Beloit, preferably blacktops. Do not attempt to travel on dirt roads, your vehicle will be stuck there for many days and possibly ticketed as well."
