Drivers in southeast Emporia are asked to avoid the area of Logan Avenue between Warren Way and Weaver Street until further notice.
The Smoots house is being moved from that area — eventually — to Road 90 east of Kansas Highway 99. However, Lyon County Undersheriff John Koelsch says the semi trailer and the house got stuck near East Logan, which has tied up traffic just east of the Simmons Pet Food facility.
The plan is to take the house east to Weaver, also known as Lyon County Road M, then go south to Road 130 before going west to Kansas Highway 99. The house will then go south to Road 90.
