The Illinois Department of Transportation closed US 50 west of Lebanon mid-afternoon Sunday due to flooding at Silver Creek. As of Sunday night it was unclear when the road might reopen.

The high school’s Art Show will start at 6:30 p.m., the district added. The school district asked that attendees enter the show through the outside gym doors.
