Highway 47 south of Warrenton in the area known as Hopewell Hill is closed due to an incident. Travel is not currently advised in the area due to winter weather and road conditions. Freezing drizzle is continually falling in these areas and others throughout northeast Missouri; drivers are encouraged to not go anywhere. "If it is absolutely necessary to drive, drive slowly, please allow a lot of extra time, wear a seat belt and be patient," said Marisa Ellison, communications manager for MoDOT's Northeast District. Icy conditions are expected to continue throughout the night, and while MoDOT crews will be out working first on the interstates and major roads, there are still expected to be challenging conditions. "For drivers who live on minor roads, we discourage any travel, as we are not sure when our crews can get to the less traveled roads," Ellison explained.Accident
