HODGEMAN COUNTY —Kansas 156 highway east of Jetmore between U.S. 283 and U.S. 183 (4 miles east of the Rozel area)is closed after a trailer lost an oversized load windmill tower section, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. 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.
