ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Recent heavy rains have led to the closing of several routes in Northwest Missouri due to high water.
With more rain in the forecast, more roads could flood without warning. Situations can change quickly, especially during flooding. Motorists are reminded to stay alert and to not drive through any water over the roadway. It only takes six inches of water or less to lose control of a vehicle and possibly be swept into rising floodwaters. Any time there is water over the roadway, there may be damage to the road surface below. MoDOT encourages all motorists to Turn Around! Don’t Drown!
To keep up with the latest road closures for flooding, incidents and roadwork, the Missouri Department of Transportation provides an online Traveler Information Map. Motorists are advised to check the map or call 1-888 ASK MODOT (1-888-275-6636) before heading out to plan alternate routes, as needed.
