EMPHASIS: Interstate 29 in Troop H Closed


The Missouri State Highway Patrol wants to inform the public of the closure of Interstate 29 due to water over the Interstate at the 86-mile marker to the 88-mile marker near Mound City, Missouri. The closure is due to torrential rain fall associated with the storms that region is experiencing. Northbound traffic is being rerouted on US 71 Highway at the 56-mile marker north to US 136, then west back to Interstate 29. Southbound traffic is being rerouted on US 136 highway at Rockport, Missouri, which is mile marker 110, east to US 71 south then back to Interstate 29. The length of the closure is undetermined at this time. For further information regarding road closures please visit Missouri Department of Transportation’s (MODOT) road condition map at the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s website www.mshp.dps.mo.gov.
