Road Condition Report:
Major roads in Wright County are covered to partially covered. However, they are very slick. Please give yourself extra time if you are traveling. MODOT is out clearing roads as we speak. They have been down 38, 60 and have begun the first pass on 95 from 38 to Mountain Grove. I don’t have reports of Highway 5’s condition at the time of this post.

(Updated: This post is now correct. I had flipped the directions of Highway 60 traffic at first.)

A portion of Highway 60 in Mountain Grove is shutdown due to a overturned tractor trailer in the eastbound lane.

Law enforcement blocked off the eastbound Highway 60 ramps in Mountain Grove.

The westtbound lane remains open.

Product is currently being removed from the trailer with the help of a forklift. The road has been shut down for nearly three hours as of 10:38 a.m.

More information will be provided later.

A big thank you to everyone who donated to this year's Baby Diaper Drive, which benefits the Pregnancy Resource Center in Mountain Grove.

The PRC said they needed help with diaper sizes 3-7. Many readers stepped up to meet the need.

A total of 2,533 diapers were donated to the PRC.
This was so fun. Let's do it again next year.
