Report

Labor Day 2026 in Missouri

What the MoDOT Traveler feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Missouri

I-70 crosses about 250 miles from St. Louis through Columbia to Kansas City, one of the oldest interstate stretches in the country and a nonstop truck corridor. I-44 runs southwest out of St. Louis through Springfield toward Oklahoma, following old Route 66. I-55 follows the Mississippi south from St. Louis, I-29 and I-35 fan out of Kansas City to the north, and US-63 and US-65 run the north-south spines through the middle of the state and the Ozarks.

What the season does to Missouri's highways

Missouri winters lean toward ice more than snow, and freezing rain can glaze I-70 and I-44 end to end in an afternoon. When it does, MoDOT reports conditions and closures by mile range, and the lettered routes through the Ozarks get slick before the interstates do. Spring brings flash flooding that closes low-lying routes fast. I-70 between St. Louis and Kansas City is two lanes each way for long stretches and famous for work zones.

Before a Missouri road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open MoDOT Traveler for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Missouri cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-70 and I-35 corridor pages carry alerts for every state the route crosses, not only Missouri.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same MoDOT Traveler alerts show on your route as you drive.

What September looked like

Over 25 daily snapshots from September 1 to 25, 2026, MileCheck's archive of the MoDOT Traveler feed held 574 unique reports, including 72 closure reports, 11 crash reports and 478 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were I-70, US-67 and US-54. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the September Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Missouri right now?

The map above shows every full closure MoDOT Traveler is publishing as a red marker, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. It reloads every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open MoDOT Traveler.

Where do I check Missouri road conditions?

MoDOT Traveler is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same MoDOT Traveler feed and adds the Missouri cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the MoDOT Traveler feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same MoDOT Traveler alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. MoDOT Traveler alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
