Update: Update: I-70 Closed in mid-Missouri
Update: Tues Feb 1 at 2:10 p.m.:
The Missouri Department of Transportation is closing I-70 in Boone, Cooper and Callaway counties due to whiteout conditions.
MoDOT says it does not know how long the closure will last.
The Highway Patrol and MoDOT are urging people not to travel.
“This is not a good time to be on the road,” MoDOT Director of System Management Don Hillis said in a press release. “Almost all of the state is covered with snow and some areas are receiving ice, making some roads impassable. Please stay home if you can.”
MoDOT has advised that Highway 54 between Mexico and Fulton is also closed.
