They don't expect the I-77 interchange to be shutdown at least. And the water should crest Sunday night.
"Based on no significant rain in the immediate forecast, Route 800 in northern Tuscarawas County and the I-77 at Route 212 interchange near Bolivar are expected to remain open, said Nick Krupa, area operations manager for the Army Corps. Recent rains and melting snow have pushed water levels higher, however, no more rain is in the forecast until Wednesday.
Because it didn’t rain Saturday, Krupa expects area lake levels to crest. The pool area behind Dover Dam is expected to crest tonight (assuming they mean Sunday night, March 13 since it is from that edition-AD) and at Bolivar Dam later this week. Although Leesville Lake is still rising, if it crests as expected today it will be about a foot higher than any time on record since 1948."
