RENO COUNTY — Recent cold weather has caused the Kansas Department of Transportation to adjust project schedules for closure and reopening of two ramps at the west K-14/U.S. 50 junction in Reno County.
The ramp connecting westbound U.S. 50 to northbound K-14 is now expected to reopen about 10 a.m. Saturday, March 30. The ramp is expected to be closed again Tuesday, April 2, and to reopen about 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 3.
The ramp connecting southbound K-14 to westbound U.S. 50 is now expected to close Wednesday, April 3, and reopen about 10 a.m. Saturday, April 6.
During the closures, motorists should seek other routes.
The ramp work is part of a nearly $3.6 million patching project on K-14. The KDOT project is from the west K-14/U.S. 50 junction north to Yaggy Road. The length is almost 7 miles. The work 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.
