| U.S. Highway 36 Now Open |
| All lanes of U.S. Hwy 36, both east and west bound, are now open near New Cambria, west of Macon, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Westbound lanes were closed initially due to flash flooding and a barrage of chemical tanks washed down Puzzle Creek into the bridge on the highway. Soon after, a trailer initially holding some of these tanks washed into the eastbound lanes, which led law enforcement and MoDOT to close all lanes of highway until it was determined there was no chemical issues with the tanks.
Other routes throughout northern Missouri remain closed due to flooding. MoDOT MoDOT encourages all motorists to check the Traveler Information Map athttp://www.modot.org/. |
