As a result Hodgeman County Schools will be closed Tuesday, according to a social media report from USD 227. There will be no practices and the music program will be rescheduled.

 A flagging operation is in place to detour traffic. Please slow down and watch out for crews working the scene. 

The closure is expected to continue until late Tuesday.
