EMERGENCY CLOSURE Route U in Warren County

HANNIBAL - The Missouri Department of Transportation is working to investigate a slide on Route U between Rogers Drive and Lake Ridge Lane. "The road has large cracks and the area around the road is unstable, so it will remain closed until we can determine the next steps toward a solution. We understand this is inconvenient, yet we must ensure the road is safe to travel on prior to reopening," explained MoDOT Area Engineer Jeff Niemeyer.

The preferred detour around the closure is to use Missouri Route 94 to Missouri Route 47.
