(KAIR)--Flooding has forced the closure of a local road.
According to a release Wednesday morning from the Atchison County Road and Bridge Department, the closure affects River Road, from the city limits/county line to the Atchison County Line to the Doniphan County Line.
According to a release, that stretch of road will be closed until further notice, with the department confirming the closure is due to Missouri River flooding.
The National Weather Service reports that the river, at Atchison Tuesday night, stood above the 22 foot flood stage at 24.9 feet. A crest of 26.3 feet is expected Thursday evening, with the river to then fall below flood stage Sunday afternoon.
That area of river affects Atchison, as well as the Missouri counties of Platte and Buchanan. The flood warning for that affected area remains in place through Monday afternoon.
The flood warning for the river, at St. Joseph, Missouri, affecting Doniphan County, Kansas, as well as Buchanan County, Missouri, is in place until further notice.
The National Weather Service reports the river there, as of Tuesday night, stood above the flood stage of 17 feet at 22.7 feet, with the river to crest at 23.9 feet Thursday morning.
