Flooding along the Mississippi River is expected to impact operations over the Norfolk Southern bridge at Hannibal, Missouri sometime Friday, July 4.  This will affect traffic normally moving between Kansas City/Moberly, Missouri and Decatur, Illinois via Hannibal.  Norfolk Southern will use alternate routes around areas of flooding, but customers with shipments normally moving over this route might see increased transit time of 24-48 hours.  Current estimates of flooding would impact operations for 7-10 days.  Further updates may be issued as conditions impacting operations change.
