Kansas Department of Transportation
The Kansas Department of Transportation will temporarily close both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 at Exit 157 near Hays on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29.
During daylight hours on both days, traffic will be diverted through the exit and entrance ramps and back onto I-70. The traffic diversion is scheduled to end by 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 29.
The closure is necessary for crews to set steel girder beams for construction of the new U.S. 183 bypass bridge over I-70, which is part of the project to improve the U.S. 183 bypass and I-70 interchange. Project work began in spring 2023 and is expected to be completed later this fall, conditions permitting.
