U.S. Route 36 near Chillicothe, closed due to Grand River flooding, has reopened between Hamilton and Brookfield.

The Missouri Department of Transportation says floodwaters receded enough to allow the re-opening of Highway 36, allowing traffic again to travel across the state from St. Joseph to Hannibal.

U.S. Route 65 south of Chillicothe, near Carrollton, remains closed as does Highway 59 in southern Buchanan County.

At one point, Missouri and Mississippi River flooding shut down nearly 400 roads across the state, mostly in northern Missouri.

Interstate 29 remains closed in southwest Iowa, which has prompted MoDOT to close through traffic on I-29 at U.S. 71 north of St. Joseph.
