KDOT had scheduled some closures on I-135 for Saturday, May 4. That work was postponed due to the chance for some severe weather. That work is now scheduled for this weekend. The Kansas Department of Transportation will be temporarily closing the southbound ramp from I-135 to eastbound K-96 and the westbound K-96 ramp to northbound I-135 in Wichita. These closures are necessary for the removal of a crane and concrete safety barriers. The ramps will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with completion expected by late Saturday afternoon.

Additionally, there will be temporary lane restrictions on northbound I-135 for new striping alignment. During the closure period, detour signs will be in place to guide drivers to alternative routes. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating through the area.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas, go to kandrive.gov or call 511.
