HAMBURG, Iowa (AP) — Motorists in southwestern Iowa are back to traveling a maze of detours as a new round of flooding closes a 40-mile stretch of Interstate 29 and other highways and roads. Those thoroughfares had only reopened in recent weeks following devastating flooding along the Missouri River in March. Today (Wednesday), the Iowa Department of Transportation said that I-29 was closed from Pacific Junction to the Missouri state line. Some sections of I-29 from the state line to St. Joseph, Missouri, had reopened Tuesday afternoon, after being closed earlier in the day.

Highway 2 — which connects the interstate to Nebraska City, Nebraska, over the Missouri River — is again closed for flooding. New flooding has also closed Highway 34 between the Nebraska state line and I-29 near Pacific Junction.

Other Iowa roads currently closed due to flooding:

S. 169 near Adel
S. 65 near Lucas
Iowa 92 near Oskaloosa
Iowa 21 near Belle Plaine
Iowa 130 near Plainview
S. 67 in Davenport

Flooding is a dynamic situation and conditions can change quickly. Other closures are expected. Travelers should check 511ia.org, the Iowa 511 mobile app or call 511 (within Iowa) or 800-288-1047 (nationwide) for up-to-date closure information on state-owned roadways across Iowa. Closures due to flooding can be viewed by turning on the incident layer on the online map and mobile app.
