EMPHASIS: Interstate 29 Closed In Troop H



Due to poor road and weather conditions Interstate 29 is closed at Missouri 116 Highway to the Iowa State Line. The Missouri State Highway Patrol requests all motorists to stay at home and avoid traveling unless it is an emergency until the road and weather conditions improve.

The American Red Cross has shelters in place for the motoring public at the Ramada Inn in St. Joseph, MO, the First Christian Church in Mound City, MO, and the United Methodist Church in Rock Port, MO. All commercial weigh stations in the Troop H area on Interstate 29, U.S. Highway 36, and Interstate 35 are open to the public as emergency warming shelters.
