I-29 reopens

Interstate 29 reopened yesterday morning to all traffic between Exit 56 and the Iowa state line. The roadway has been closed since late March for flooding. While floodwaters receded and debris was cleared from the Missouri portion of I-29, Iowa had significant damage to I-29 and routes that extend to the east and west of the I-29 in western Iowa. Approximately eight miles north of the Missouri border, traffic moves head to head and a 12 foot width restriction is in place. Motorist should expect delays. Over dimension loads must use an alternative route. Many routes throughout the region remain flooded, both in Missouri and Iowa. Motorist do not have access to several roads west of I-29 in Atchison and Holt counties due to flooding and damage. These routes include U.S. Routes 159 and 136.  The continued flooding, combined with changing weather conditions, could delay recovery and repair efforts.
