RENO COUNTY, Kan. — Two ramps at the west K-14/U.S. 50 junction will be closed soon as part of a K-14 patching project in Reno County.

The first ramp closure is expected to begin Monday, March 25, on the ramp connecting westbound U.S. 50 to northbound K-14. That closure is expected to end around Thursday, March 28.

The next closure is expected to begin around Thursday, March 28, on the ramp connecting southbound K-14 to westbound U.S. 50. That closure is expected to end around Tuesday, April 2.

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.
