Flooding continued along the Missouri River through the month of May. Increased flood levels prompted the closure of Interstate 29 once again, from Highway 34 southward to the Missouri Border, and from I680/29 split northward to the I680/80 split. Gavins Point Dam releases were increased from 55,000 cfs to 75,000 cfs by the end of the month.
