The Kansas Department of Transportation has closed westbound and eastbound I-70 from Exit 244, Hedville Road near Salina, to the Colorado border. Accumulating snow and strong winds are causing blizzard conditions with low visibility in western Kansas.
KDOT asks that motorists not attempt to avoid interstate closures by using secondary routes. Any non-essential travel should be delayed until conditions improve.
More closures could occur. For the more details and updates on road closures and conditions, visit https://www.kandrive.gov/ or call 511 in Kansas.
