WEBSTER COUNTY, Mo. – Work to remove the flood-damaged low-water crossing on Webster County Route Y over the Niangua River north of Marshfield will begin the week of June 16, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The low-water crossing was damaged and closed on June 4 following historic flooding.
Route Y will remain closed until the structure is replaced, which is planned to begin in Spring 2026. During the closure, motorists must use alternate routes.
For the safety of all travelers, NEVER move or drive around barricades. MoDOT crews place those barriers for your safety and that of motorists who may come after you. Moving barricades not only puts yourself in danger, but other drivers who may move through later and drive into floods or onto damaged roadways without warning. This can be especially dangerous at night.
MoDOT asks all motorists to work with us by buckling up, putting your phone down, obeying all traffic signs, and slowing down and moving over in work zones. Motorists are advised to use extra caution through work zones, obey all traffic signs, and avoid any distractions.
