CALLAWAY COUNTY – Flash flooding has led to the closure of Route K in Callaway County. The Missouri Department of Transportation is advising motorists that more road closures are possible with additional rain in the forecast.
The washout occurred Sunday night approximately three miles east of the Route D intersection.
MoDOT crews will be working to make repairs and plan to have the road back open by Thursday, weather permitting. Motorists will need to use alternate routes around the damaged roadway until repairs can be made.
With more rainfall expected in the coming days, MoDOT is reminding motorists to never enter a flooded roadway or remove barriers marking a closed road. MoDOT advises all travelers to plan their route ahead of time and know what roads are flooded before getting on the road. Flood closures and live traffic conditions are also available 24-hours a day by using the Traveler Information Map or by calling 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636).
