Wheel Genius: Road work this week

See below for some projects and detours that could delay your travel during the coming week near the Kansas University campus in Lawrence, or to or from the Kansas City metro area, according to government and agency officials:

Lawrence

• Continued construction of The Oread — a mixed-use and hotel project — limits traffic north of the Kansas University campus, and the restrictions are anticipated to last into spring. Among them: 12th Street, closed to westbound traffic from west of Louisiana Street to Indiana Street; Indiana, closed to traffic from 12th to a half block south; and Oread Avenue, restricted to local traffic only from 12th to 13th streets.

Interstate 70

• Bridge replacement work in Wyandotte County has closed the Seventh Street Trafficway ramp for eastbound traffic on Interstate 70. The work is expected to last through the end of December.

Interstate 35

• Construction in Johnson County of an I-35 interchange at Lone Elm Road has squeezed traffic on the interstate into two narrower lanes in each direction.

• Work to remove temporary barriers will limit traffic headed south along I-35 from the intersection of 151st Street, Kansas Highway 7 and U.S. 169 to 175th Street. The work is set to be finished Monday.

Interstate 435

• A portion of a ramp connecting I-435 and U.S. Highway 69 is scheduled to be open, after being closed for partial reconstruction since early summer. The ramp allows traffic headed east on I-435 to go north onto U.S. 69 in Johnson County.

Kansas Highway 7

• Construction of a new interchange in Wyandotte County for Kansas Highway 7 at U.S. Highways 24-40 has closed all ramps at the interchange, and has limited traffic heading north and south to one lane in each direction along K-7, from 130th Street to Parallel Parkway. Traffic heading east and west also has been squeezed to one lane in each direction along U.S. 24-40, from 130th to 142nd streets.
