CR 603 between Tabscott and Kents Store is closed due to flooding. A cyclist who called ACA mentioned he spoke to a road worker who said that there may be other closures in the areas due to local heavy rains, but that water levels should start dropping quickly, so closures will likely be temporary. VA DOT has not posted any detours. A workable detour on mostly low traffic county roads (based on satellite imagery, Google traffic data) can be found in the following map link:

There is a section of SR 106 4 mi. W. of Ellington, MO that will be closed from Aug 10-Sep 11 2017. A signed detour has been posted. According to a cyclist who was recently in the area: "There is a road closed sign approx. ½ mile before the actual closure. At the site where the road is being repaired there is a second barricade. You can exit the highway at the barricade (make a right) and use the dry creek road to get around the area. The county has opened the creek bottom up to local traffic."

Here is a news release of the closure: http://www.modot.org/southeast/news_and_information/District10Release.shtml?action=displaySSI&newsId=212373

Per ODOT, chip sealing/bridge repair project will take place sometime mid-June through September on 30 miles of US 26 between intersection with SR 19 and Mt. Vernon. Flaggers and pilot cars will be directing traffic through the work zone. Plan extra time to ride through the area. Once underway, the project should take about 3 weeks to complete.

See ODOT's media release (attached) for more info. And be sure to check the ODOT website for status as project date nears: http://www.tinyurl.com/odot-region5

The Lewis and Clark River bridge (US 101 Bus) west of Miles Crossing is closed for repair from Dec 1- approx Aug 1 2015. This closure will affect LC Sec7 map #112, TA Sec1 map #1 and PC Sec2 map #14. For updates see the project webpage here: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION2/Pages/U.S.-101B-Bridge-Construction-News.aspx.

A detour following US 101 on the Youngs Bay Bridge should be signed during closure. Traffic is heavy but shoulders are decent.

Atlantic Coast Section 3 maps 35-36, south of Guinea, Stonewall Jackson Rd./CR 606 is closed for bridge replacement over the Poni River (labeled "Po" River on maps) until approx. Jun 2016. For more updates, check the project website: http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/fredericksburg/route_606_stonewall_jackson_road_bridge_closure.asp
For a detour around the closure, see this Google Map: https://goo.gl/maps/AjUAc. Note that this detour utilizes more heavily trafficked US Highway 1 for 3 miles,  and passes through the full service town of Thornburg instead of entering Guinea.

The Lamine River bridge on SR 41 between Lamine and Boonville MO is being replaced during Spring/Summer 2014. In the meantime a (EB) detour exists by leaving SR 41 about 5 mi NW of Lamine and following CR K, CR M and other frontage roads along the I-70 corridor to rejoin the route on Santa Fe Trail west of Boonville. For WB riders, simply reverse directions. These roads have all been confirmed as being viable options for biking based on the MO DOT bike route maps, though cyclists may experience higher traffic flows because of the bridge closure.
