ARNOLD (KMOX) — MoDOT crews continue making progress on trying to reopen I-55 and it’s now in sight.
“We’ve pumped a lot of water off the northbound lanes,” MoDOT spokeswoman Karen Yeomans tells KMOX. “We have two lanes that are free of water, there’s still water in the third lane which is right up against our sandbags.”
Yeomans says the agency is on track to open the northbound lanes at about 5:30 p.m. The southbound lanes may not be open again until late tonight or early Friday.
Meanwhile, she says I-44 at Highway 141 could reopen sometime Friday, but 141 will be closed for a while.
