The Missouri Department of Transportation is also keeping a close watch on river levels and may have to close several roads within the next few days, said MoDOT Northeast District Maintenance and Traffic Engineer Mark Giessinger.

Those roads include U.S. 61 at Alexandria; Route B/Business 61 at Canton; Route B/Business 61 at LaGrange; Mo. 79 south of Hannibal near Illasco; Mo. 79 south of Louisiana; and Mo. 79 one mile south of Clarksville.

MoDOT closed Route N in Shelby County earlier this week.
