The section of Route 29 through Putnam will remained closed into the beginning of next week as crews continue to take down silos.
No commercial traffic will be allowed to use Route 29 in the Putnam area and should be using alternate routes, such as Route 26 and Route 18, according to the Putnam County Sheriff\u2019s Office.
A grain silo full of corn partially collapsed Tuesday in Putnam. Deputies received the call about the collapse at 8:37 a.m. Tuesday morning.
\u201cThere\u2019s two grain silos that are older, and then there\u2019s a grain leg that goes up through the middle of them,\u201d Putnam County Sheriff Josh Boedigheimer said. \u201cThey have to remove the grain leg, but they\u2019re in the process of moving the silos \u2013 so that process hasn\u2019t started yet.\u201d
Boedigheimer said Thursday that he believes crews could be completed with their work by Monday or Tuesday.
River Valley Coop did not return requests for comment on the grain silo collapse.
