Major exit ramp in Wichita closing until late December

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Kansas Department of Transportation said the exit ramp from westbound Kellogg to southbound Interstate 135 is closing on Sept. 30 until late December.

KDOT said the closure is necessary for a project involving “milling, patching and a concrete overlay being placed on each side consecutively.”

KDOT said motorists should follow the detour onto northbound I-135, take exit 6B for 2nd Street, then turn left on southbound I-135.

This is the last phase of the bridge rehabilitation project taking this year at the I-135/U.S. Highway 54 interchange, KDOT said. The work is set to conclude by late December, conditions permitting.

KDOT said Wildcat Construction is the primary contractor for the project, which costs a little over $1.3 million.
