So it appears I-29 North of St Joe to Omaha is closed in at least multiple spots. Why wouldn't we be able to do this to get to Omaha?
-North from KC on I-29
-Take Hwy 36 West just south of St Joe until I hit Hwy 75
-Take Hwy 75 North into Omaha
I've heard there may be some flooding in Plattsmouth but could porbably just take Hwy 66 to Hwy 50 and up to West Omaha. [Reply]
So my wife was talking about this and I kinda shrugged. I mean, I was in KC through the flood of '93 and after a year or so and a few checks from the government, most people were in pretty decent shape with some notable shitty exceptions.
So y'know, shit happens and what not.
But then she told me about !@#$ing ice flows and the real, distinct possibility of hypothermia. That simply hadn't crossed my mind and yeah, that's a whole 'nother level of shitty right there.

This is the route I took back in 2011 when I-29 was closed due to flooding. I had to be in Omaha for training. Coming home on Friday late afternoon absolutely sucked though. It took me over 6 hours to get back home in south KC. [Reply]
I was able to make it to Council Bluffs yesterday in about 3 hrs and 30 min. Just went West just south of St Joe to Hwy 75 and took it North into Omaha. Almost got killed by a semi trying to pass another semi - but we made it. [Reply]
There's a ton of extra truck traffic on Hwy 75 with I-29 being closed. It's a brutal stretch of highway under normal circumstances but even worse now. [Reply]
