GEARY COUNTY - On Tuesday, May 16, 2023, Ebert Construction will close the existing Old U.S. Highway 77, which currently provides access to Fort Riley's Park Gate.

The newly constructed intersection will be opened .25 miles north for use by travelers to access the new alignment of Old U.S. 77.

Minor delays should be expected as the new road and intersection are completed.
