KDOT Release

I-70 through Junction City is scheduled to reopen to unrestricted winter travel by the end of today, Nov. 22, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation, following the completion of Phase Two construction and a three-day lane reduction for bridge work in Grandview Plaza.

Phase Three of I-70 construction is scheduled to begin in mid-March 2025. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction and carried through construction via the westbound lanes while pavement is replaced in the eastbound lanes.

The multi-phase $30 million project includes construction of temporary crossovers, pavement and drainage structure replacement, bridge rehabilitation and resurfacing of some local routes. The project is scheduled to be completed by December of 2025, 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 all highway construction projects across Kansas, visit www.kandrive.gov, and for more information or updates on this project as it becomes available, please visit https://www.ksdot.gov/bureaus/divOperat/i_70pavementreplacementproject.asp.
