BOONVILLE – A major river crossing in Howard County has been opened as flood waters continue to recede.
Tuesday afternoon, the Missouri Department of Transportation opened the Route 40 Missouri River bridge north of Boonville. The bridge was closed due to flooding on June 3.
Route 87 north of Boonville has also been opened. Routes 5 and 40 north of the bridge will remain closed until they are no longer covered and crews are able to clean up debris and assess any damage to the road.
MoDOT will continue to update travelers on road closures and openings on the Traveler Information Map as well as on social media.
