(KAIR)--A semi knocks down power lines, forcing the closure of a Leavenworth County road Monday morning.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, K-192, in Easton, is closed to all traffic, as the power lines remain across the roadway. Traffic is being detoured through the use of local streets.

The agency, as of 10:30 Monday morning, said the road would likely remain closed for up to two hours.

Westar Energy is working to make the necessary repairs.

The semi was transporting a high load through the affected travel route which knocked the lines to the ground.
