Kansas highway closure near Jetmore due to fallen windmill part causes school cancellations.

A section of Kansas 156 highway near Jetmore is closed after a semi-trailer lost a windmill tower section, leading to Hodgeman County Schools canceling classes on Tuesday. Traffic is being detoured via a flagging operation, and the closure is expected to last until late Tuesday. The Kansas Department of Transportation is handling the situation, which includes delays due to power lines and the need for a crane to remove the heavy tower.
