JEFFERSON CITY - Two separate severe storm systems, including heavy rains from remnants of Hurricane Ike, caused widespread flooding that forced the Missouri Department of Transportation to close dozens of roads this weekend. As of Monday morning, 114 state roads remained closed. MoDOT's Traveler Information Map at http://www.modot.org/ shows locations where highways have been closed because of high water. The map is updated as conditions change.
Motorists can zoom in eight different ways for details across the state. If icons are heavily stacked in a section of the map, visitors can double click on that area and the map will zoom in, automatically unstacking the icons. A text-only version that gives information by route and county is also available. The map also provides work zone and incident information, as well as other road conditions.
