UPDATE: Highway 61 Now Open, Traffic Routed Through Clark, Knox, Lewis, Scotland Counties During Closure
UPDATE: HANNIBAL – U.S. 61 where a levee broke Saturday night, and flooded all four lanes of the highway (Avenue of the Saints), is now open. All lanes of U.S. 61 between the U.S. 61/24 (Taylor) interchange and Missouri Route 6 (north of Palmyra) have been cleared of water and debris. Traffic is now able to resume. Original Post: According to a truck-driver pulled over in Edina at around noon on Sunday, June 28, 2015, he was re-routed because Highway 61/24 is closed, due to flooding north of the junction, where Highway 6 and Highway 61/24 meet between LaGrange and Palmyra.
