RENO COUNTY, Kan. — Two ramp closures at the west K-14/U.S. 50 junction in Reno County -- part of a K-14 patching project – have been delayed by expected cold weather.
The first closure, on the ramp connecting westbound U.S. 50 to northbound K-14, had been scheduled to begin Monday, March 25. That closure has been delayed until around Wednesday, March 27, and is expected to be completed by the evening of Friday, March 29.
The second closure, on the ramp connecting southbound K-14 to westbound U.S. 50, had been expected to begin around Thursday, March 28. It has been delayed until further notice.
During the ramp closures, motorists should seek other routes.
The ramp closures are part of a nearly $3.6 million patching project on K-14. The Kansas Department of Transportation project is from the west K-14/U.S. 50 junction north to Yaggy Road. The length is almost 7 miles.
The work began Monday, March 18, and is expected to be completed around mid-August.
During the work, K-14 traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled by flaggers or a pilot car. Ramps will be closed at times. Motorists should be prepared to slow down and stop and face delays of up to 15 minutes.
Iowa Civil Contracting Inc., of Victor, Iowa, is the primary contractor for the $3,559,085 project.
