JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The low-water crossing on Dent County Route TT is now closed until necessary repairs can be made. After consecutive recent flooding events, the Missouri Department of Transportation assessed the damage and closed the roadway on April 22, 2025, as it is no longer safe for vehicular traffic. Concrete barriers have been placed out of an abundance of caution to prevent motorists from utilizing the damaged roadway.
The closure is only short-term, however, as crews plan to begin repairs as soon as materials are delivered, which is anticipated next week. Until repairs are made, and the roadway reopened, motorists will need to use an alternate route.
For the safety of all travelers, NEVER move or drive around barricades. Our crews place them for your safety and that of motorists who may come after you. Moving barricades not only puts yourself in danger, but other drivers who may come through later and drive into floods or onto damaged roadways without warning. This can be especially dangerous at night.
MoDOT asks all motorists to work with us by buckling up, putting your phone down, obeying all traffic signs, and slowing down and moving over in work zones. Motorists are advised to use extra caution through work zones, obey all traffic signs, and avoid any distractions.
