Manhattan officials are telling the public about traffic closures near Bill Snyder Family Stadium and elsewhere in the area ahead of upcoming KSU home football games. With three home games in the next five weeks, drive safely and be aware of extra traffic on those gameday weekends.
The biggest remaining disruption nearest to Bill Snyder Family Stadium is the ongoing closure of Denison Avenue south of Kimball Avenue. Construction on Kimball Avenue has been completed and the roadway is open to east-west traffic at the Denison Avenue intersection. However, shipping delays related to the new traffic signal for the intersection have prevented Denison from reopening to left turns. Only “right-in” and “right-out” traffic is allowed for Denison from Kimball during the season. Through traffic on Kimball does not stop.
Denison remains closed south of Kimball to the intersection to Olympic Drive (Recreation Complex entrance) during the 2024 football season. Fans who normally utilize Denison to access parking lots along Kimball need to use College or Manhattan avenues. Parking for Lot E4, VIP and the student tailgate area is accessible from Denison through Olympic Drive.
If you are coming into town on K-177, you should either use the off-ramp to access Tuttle Creek Boulevard or turn right onto 3rd Street to access downtown. 4th Street is closed north of Pierre Street for the rest of 2024. Anderson Avenue from Seth Child Road to Wreath Avenue remains under construction, a project that will last into at least November. Traffic is one lane in both directions in the outside lanes, so fans should expect delays in this area. Currently, no left turns are allowed through this stretch through at least Nov. 2.
The K-State - KU football game is Saturday night at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
