Here are the latest road closings in Texas County at 9 a.m. Wednesday:
- Route 32-from Hillcrest Road to Mason Drive
- Route EE-from Route 181 to Route AD
Motorists should check Missouri’s Traveler Information Map at www.modot.org before traveling.
Motorists are reminded that not all flooded roads will have closure signs. MoDOT cautions all travelers to never drive through water on the roadway. Turn around and find an alternate route. Remember the slogan, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Flash flooding is particularly dangerous at night or the early morning hours when motorists often cannot see they’re driving into floodwaters until it’s too late. Less than a foot of moving water is enough to push a vehicle.
When the water recedes, MoDOT will inspect the pavement and bridges for safety before opening the roadways for public use.
