Malfunctioning Wind Turbine Results In Road Closure

February 09, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Allendorf)– A hard-surfaced road south of Allendorf is closed until further notice.

According to Sibley Fire Chief Ken Huls, emergency crews in Osceola County have closed a section of County Road A22 near Allendorf. Huls says A22, or 170th Street is closed for one mile, west of Highway 59, due to a malfunctioning wind turbine. Huls says one of the blades is off-kilter and emergency officials are concerned the blade may fly off or the turbine might start on fire.
