MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- MoDOT has reopened one a lane in either direction of Route 141 near Earth City after shutting down the entire roadway due to flooding Wednesday afternoon.

Officials told News 4 crews that both directions of the highway were shut down between Creve Coeur Airport Road and Creve Coeur Mill Road due to the water seeping over the roadway.

MoDOT said the northbound lanes were previously shut down Tuesday.

Earlier this week, floodwaters rose on Route 141 at the intersection of Sport Port Road, forcing crews to close traffic to one lane in each direction. Since then, floodwaters have continued to rise onto the road.
