Commuters need to be on the lookout this morning for a ramp closure in Johnson County due to an inspection.

The southbound U.S. Highway 69 to westbound Interstate 435 ramp will be closed, weather permitting, from 9 a.m. to noon today as crews conduct an inspection.

A message board will alert drivers to the ramp closure, but no marked detours will be provided, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. Drivers should expect delays and are advised to use alternate routes, KDOT said.

KDOT will post daily lane- and ramp-closure information about this inspection online at www.ksdot.org/kcmetro/laneclose.asp.
