Missouri Route 15 North of Mexico to Remain Closed

Estimated duration is to reopen Tuesday

HANNIBAL – Missouri Route 15 about one mile north of Mexico, just south of the Davis Creek Bridge, will remained temporarily closed for the next few days following a gas line explosion that occurred around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

Once the road is established to be in good condition, Missouri Department of Transportation crews will reopen the road once the gas company has completed their review and the road is determined to be in good condition.  MoDOT will also reinspect the bridge, since it was near the explosion.

Drivers are asked to use alternate routes and refer to MoDOT’s Traveler Map at www.modot.org for updates.
