MoDOT says the weather prevented a damage inspection.

MoDOT says motorists should use a different route until the bridge can be reopened.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Department says the Highway “J” bridge, near Rogersville, was struck by a dump truck.

The impact knocked the dump truck bed off the truck’s frame.
