The Kansas Department of Transportation will reduce a section of Interstate 70 (I-70) beginning Monday to begin constructing crossover lanes just east of the Chapman interchange, near Chapman Creek.
The crossover construction is needed to allow I-70 traffic to use one set of lanes in spring 2021 for bridge replacements scheduled to begin at that time.
Work will begin approximately one mile west of the Chapman Creek bridge and extend east for approximately two miles with occasional shoulder closures and intermediate lane closures.
Reece Construction Co., Inc. of Salina is the primary contractor for this $5.8 million project. The bridge replacements are scheduled to be completed in Nov. 2022, weather permitting.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a work zone. Check kandrive.org for updates and more information.
