The city of Janesville is warning residents about flooding in low-lying areas.

The Rock River levels will be rising very quickly over the next few days, according to the National Weather Service.

Areas in Janesville that will see flooding include Riverside Park, Charles and Joseph Streets in the Mole-Sadler subdivision, Main Street between Centerway and Milwaukee Street.

Moderate flooding is expected in the next few days, according to the weather service.

City operations crews will place sandbags along the river walk between Centerway and Milwaukee Street today.

Drivers are advised to avoid Charles and Joseph Streets, as those streets will soon be impassable.

Big skid full of sandbags being delivered as I drove up Main. Seems like they just took them all down and now this!
