KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Drivers in Harvey County should plan for a temporary closure this week as the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) continues work on the 36th Street bridge replacement.
KDOT officials announced that both northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 135 at 36th Street will be closed on Friday, Jan. 16, beginning at 7 p.m. The lanes are expected to reopen by 7 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 18, conditions permitting. Traffic will be diverted through the exit and entrance ramps and back on to I-135.
The closure is necessary to accommodate ongoing construction activities tied to the replacement of the 36th Street bridge, a project aimed at improving safety and extending the life of the corridor.
KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones.
