The Kansas Department of Transportation announced that the right lane of eastbound I-70 near the Abilene exit in Dickinson County has been closed for concrete repair. KDOT will be removing and replacing damaged concrete. It is estimated that the project will be completed by August, weather permitting.

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 highway construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.gov or call 5-1-1.
