The Kansas Department of Transportation is alerting motorists to anticipate delays on I-70 through Junction City during periods of heavy travel, especially on weekends of Kansas State University home football games in nearby Manhattan.
Traffic delays should be expected in Geary County as a pavement replacement project continues along a 4-mile stretch of I-70 in Junction City between Washington Street (Exit 296) and K-57 (Exit 300). I-70 traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction on the westbound lanes, with lower work zone speed limits in place.
The lane reduction will continue throughout this final phase of construction. All work is scheduled for completion by December, conditions permitting.
