Road Closures

(NEMO)—A number of roads in Northeast Missouri remain closed due to high water:

Shelby County Route N at the North Fork of Salt River.

Route 61 at Alexandria remains closed.

Two Lewis County roads are closed:  A portion of Route B and Route V at the N. Fabius.

The Quincy Memorial Bridge is still closed, with traffic rerouted onto the Quincy Bayview Bridge.  The Quincy Police Department says the closure of the Quincy Memorial Bridge and the rerouting of traffic onto the Bayview Bridge has resulted in long lines of traffic at times.  Motorists are asked to be patient and allow extra time for travel.  Police also remind folks that pedestrian traffic is not allowed on the Memorial Bridge; please do not go past the barricades.

Highway 79 just south of Hannibal remains closed.

A portion of Route E in Ralls County is closed.

US 54 at the Champ Clark Bridge in Louisiana is closed.
