After flooding, I-29 reopens between St. Joseph and Omaha
The stretch of Interstate 29 between St. Joseph and Omaha, Nebraska reopened Wednesday morning, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
The highway was closed in late March because of severe flooding along the Missouri River.
Although the portion of the highway from exit 56 to the Iowa state line reopened, drivers should still expect delays, the Department of Transportation said in a news release.
Traffic eight miles north of the Iowa border was head-to-head. Vehicles wider than 12 feet cannot drive on that section of the road.
U.S. Routes 159 and 136 are still closed in Missouri and Iowa, according to the release.
