(KLZA)-- Depending on the weather, the Missouri Department of Transportation is hopeful, Highway 159 between the Missouri River and Highway 111will be opened to traffic sometime next week.
Originally hopeful the road could be opened earlier this month and then a goal was set for this weekend, but a spokesperson told MSC News Friday morning the highway will not be opened this weekend.
Once the road does open, you will still not be able to travel east of Big Lake on 159 due to bridge damage to the east of Highway 111.
