The Missouri Department of Transportation will reopen Interstate 29 from the Iowa state line to Dearborn, MO. tonight at 7:00 p.m. The winter storm has lessened and allowed snowplows to remove snow from the highway sooner than expected.
Although Interstate 29 will be open to traffic, the Missouri State Highway Patrol is discouraging any travel at this time. Troopers have worked numerous crashes and slide offs due to this dangerous storm.
