I was going to include this in the forecast but I decided I would share some things about the flooding situation. The list of road closures by Franklin County Emergency Management is getting smaller. This is the last update at 3:00 p.m.
Valier Lake Road – East of 148 (Wash out)
Andy’s Road near 15th Street
Yellowbanks Road at Big Muddy Bridge
Horseshoe Rd / Freeman Spur Rd
Franklin Ave off Orient Road
Also, State Route 148 is down to one lane between Zeigler and Herrin. Illinois Department of Transportation and other emergency officials are monitoring the situation.
Here are some things that are regionally to pass on from the Missouri Department of Transportation. Interstate 55 is closed in several places between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau. The only way to get between the two is cut through Illinois. This might lead to more traffic on Illinois 127 and Interstates 57 and 64.
Please follow franklincounty-news.com as the next round of heavy rains is approaching, for the latest updates in the flooding situation.
