UPDATE:  I-29 is closed again. See our latest story.

Interstate 29, closed in northwest Missouri due to flooding, has reopened.

The Missouri Department of Transportation closed I-29 last night after floodwaters covered U.S. Route 59 near Mound City and began to wash over I-29. MoDOT worked with the Missouri State Highway Patrol to re-route travelers.

Traffic on I-29 at Highway 59 has been narrowed to one lane.

MoDOT cautions motorists to monitor conditions in the area and not to drive over flooded roadways or around barricades.

Multiple roads in northwest Missouri closed due to flooding overnight. MoDOT has been posting the latest on the impact of the flooding in northwest Missouri on a special website. You can access it by clicking here.

MoDOT urges motorists to report any flooded roadway without barricades by calling MoDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service line at 888 ASK MODOT (1-888-275-6636).
