The Champ Clark Bridge that carries U.S. 54 from Louisana, Missouri, into Illinois closed Sunday night at 10 p.m. due to Mississippi River flooding.
Parts of the Mississippi and Missouri River basins have received up to 2 inches of rain over the last couple days. Flooding already was a concern in the area, but with the extra rain, forecast crests in several locations are expected to reach major flood levels.
