Construction will close this highway in Wichita this weekend. Here’s when & where
Both northbound and southbound I-135 will be closed for construction in Wichita this weekend.
The closures will start at 5 a.m. Saturday, June 14, and are expected to end by 6 a.m. Monday, June 16.
Southbound I-135 will be closed from the K-254 interchange to just past the K-96 interchange. These ramps will also be closed:
▪ The I-235 ramps to southbound I-135, including the newly constructed I-235 connector ramp to K-96.
▪ The ramp from westbound K-96 to southbound I-135.
▪ The exit loop ramp to north Broadway avenue from southbound I-235.
▪ The ramp from Hydraulic avenue to southbound I-135.
Northbound I-135 will be closed at the K-96 and I-135 interchange. Traffic will be diverted to eastbound K-96, where drivers can exit Hillside and use westbound K-96 to return to northbound I-135. Drivers will not be able to turn north or south onto Hillside from the detour on K-96, a Kansas Department of Transportation news release said.
“In addition, northbound I-135 will be reduced to one lane north of the K-96 interchange due to bridge deck repair work on the northbound I-135 bridge over 37th street,” KDOT said. “This work is anticipated to take both Saturday and Sunday to complete and will impact all northbound traffic.”
