Hwy 13 Bridge Closed

[Ootsey]

Just got confirmation that the HWY 13 Bridge here in Kimberling City is closed down until water level goes down. Hope nobody is stuck on the wrong side. They have a long trip to go back around.

ust looked at the MODOT site and there is nothing about the bridge or hwy 13 being closed.

MoDot has not closed the bridge.

Just spoke with MoDOT's Springfield office at 417-895-7600 and the KC bridge is NOT closed and was NOT closed at any time. They are monitoring the situation but it appears the Lake may have crested at about 1400 hours at 935.47 and went down a teeny bit to 935.44 at 1500. Not down much but better than the constant rise !

I'm from about 3 hrs away in north Ark and I ran under it yesterday @ 9-10am on the branson side. I was prefishing for the OPEN and I don't think a boat would have fit under the (blue eye side)then. It was wild fishing let me tell you!! Great day Monday and not so good tus then when I got the word I head bk home and to work. I did fish a CPA there in 08 when it was like this time it just seems to happened faster. Hope everyone stays safe. Everybody was really great just like normal when I'm up there.
