List of (St. Louis, MO) area roads closed due to high water
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/list-of-area-roads-closed-due-to-high-water/article_e6723125-5ef8-5e50-9094-d88875edb6eb.htmlUPDATED at 5:30 p.m. with Jefferson County road closures from the Missouri Department of Transportation
Hundreds of roads across the state due to flooding, including roughly 40 in the St. Louis area, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
Floodwaters from the Meramec River forced the shutdown of all lanes of Interstate 44 for a 24-mile stretch early Wednesday. The closure could last through Friday.
Ten miles of the interstate were closed at about 1:15 a.m. Wednesday between Bowles Avenue in Fenton to Highway 109 in Eureka. Then, before 9 a.m., the shutdown doubled to 20 miles, extending from from Bowles to Highway 100 in Gray Summit. Less than an hour later, it was extended east to Interstate 270.
