Geary County Emergency Management has shared photos of the demolition of the J-Hill Road Bridge at Exit 299.

The demolition took place Wednesday night, requiring a closure of both eastbound and westbound I-70 (near Junction City and Grandview Plaza) from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. to allow crews to safely complete the demo and cleanup work.

I-70 has since reopened in both directions, with traffic reduced to one lane each way, as pavement replacement work continues. The new J-Hill Road Bridge is expected to be completed by July 2026, weather permitting.
