Weekend closures on I-135 will take place for the next 2 weekends. The first closure will begin on Saturday, Sept. 21, as the Kansas Department of Transportation will temporarily close southbound I-135 from the K-254 interchange to just past the K-96 interchange. In addition, northbound I-135 motorists will be required to exit onto eastbound K-96.
These closures are necessary to erect a girder. At 5 a.m. on Saturday, the ramp closures will commence, with completion expected late on Sunday, Sept. 22.
During the closures, motorists can take westbound K-96 to northbound I-135. Detour signs will be in place to guide drivers to alternative routes. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while traveling through the area.
On Saturday, Sept. 28. the same closures from the prior weekend will take place. 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.
