Posted Dec 27, 2023 1:03 PM

UPDATE: Interstate 70 in northwest Kansas was reopened in both directions about 8 p.m. Tuesday by the Kansas Department of Transportation. Kansas-27 between Goodland and Wheeler is also now open.

However, westbound U.S. 36 at Atwood and westbound U.S. 40 at Oakley remain closed.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has again closed westbound I-70 at Goodland because of winter weather conditions and vehicle crashes in Colorado. The same stretch of I-70 had been closed early in the day but had temporarily reopened when road conditions improved in eastern Colorado.

KDOT has also closed westbound U.S. 36 at Atwood and K-27 between Goodland and Wheeler.

Motorists are advised to buckle up and stay alert for changing road and weather conditions.
