audio iconRoad Closure
KS-140 & KS-14, Ellsworth, KS 67439

A semi-truck is stuck north of town on Highway 14 near K-140 because water erosion washed out part of the road. The erosion is close to the edge of the road and the guardrail on the north side of K-140. Authorities plan to temporarily close both lanes of Highway 14 to remove the semi and ensure public safety.
