KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A tractor-trailer hauling pig intestine has dumped its load across a downtown highway in Kansas City, Missouri.
Update: Crews estimate it could be NOON before all lanes are back open. Please find an alternate snout. Sorry, alternate route. pic.twitter.com/O57cxFUlKV

The Missouri Department of Transportation tweeted that at least three lanes of westbound Interstate 670 were closed Thursday because of the spill, and that an emergency response truck with a snow plow blade was sent to the scene to help clean up the mess.
Transportation officials urged drivers to, "Find an alternate snout. Sorry, alternate route."
