Flooding eases, but not road problems"While the massive flooding that has paralyzed parts of the Midwest for the better part of four weeks is finally subsiding, its effect on the trucking industry remains. Continued road closures are the primary concern in many states with Interstate 34 between Iowa and Illinois among the key roads still shut down. Low-lying areas around a bridge remain flooded, preventing travel over the main artery in the southwest corner of Iowa. Dena Gray-Fisher, director of media and marketing services for the Iowa Dept. of Transportation, did not have a specific timetable for the opening of the Interstate at this point, but said it likely will be after July 4th."
