Hey @MoDOT, more extreme danger described on deadly MO-124 in Boone. If safety is priority, take the funds from 63/CC quagmire and fix what the people who live here actually need fixed. Head on collisions are unsatisfactory. @Kip_Kendrick

Be cautious on the drive home, as flooding is affecting road conditions in some areas. Drivers are encouraged to check MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map traveler.modot.org/map/, or call the department’s toll free number, 1-888-ASK-MODOT, for the latest conditions.

With heavy rains falling across much of the state, it's important to prioritize your safety. Drive for conditions, and if you encounter a water-covered roadway, find an alternate route. Turn around, don't drown. Check the most current road closures at traveler.modot.org
