Drivers on the highway will be able to follow detour routes to eastbound I-70 and Wanamaker Road or can use alternate routes, according to KDOT. Temporary lane reductions on I-70 are expected during this process.
Work on this project will be conducted by A.M. Cohron & Son, Inc., of Atlantic, Iowa for the $7.7 million project. Crews will be on site during daytime hours from Monday through Friday and Saturdays as needed.
