Flash flooding closes several mid-Missouri roadways

Any time there is water over the roadway, there may be unseen damage to the road surface below. Do not drive through water over a roadway or around construction barricades. MoDOT encourages all motorists to Turn Around! Don't Drown! It only takes six inches of water (or less!) to lose control of your vehicle and possibly be swept into rising floodwaters.
