The Kansas Department of Transportation has reopened both directions of I-70 between WaKeeney and Russell. The interstate was previously closed because of whiteout conditions and crashes blocking the driving lanes.

Accumulating snowfall and strong winds are continuing to cause snow-packed and icy roadways. Motorists are advised to slow down, use caution and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.

For the latest information on road closures and conditions, visit www.kandrive.gov or call 511 in Kansas or 866-511-5368 outside Kansas.
