- as of 7 a.m., as you can see, very little improvement in road conditions over the few hours. There is a thick layer of ice under the snow, and it's well beyond the effective temps of pre-treat. We've got to plow and get salt down on every lane mile of highway. We need until noon.
- The city of Elwood is sounding the sirens at this time for evacuation of the city. The water level has reached 30.13 feet and still rising 2 tenths of an inch an hour. Once evacuation is complete KDOT will close the US-36 ramps going into the city to keep people from returning.
- #LAWRENCETRAFFIC >BREAKING NEWS! As of 9:45AM TODAY, EB K-10 SLT East Leg NOW OPEN to traffic! Here's a look @ 1st drivers on new EB K-10.
- Another snow plow has been hit on the on-ramp at I-70 west and K-99 exit and is currently out of service. Please please give our snow plows plenty of room. @TopekaMetroKDOT
- CLOSURE UPDATE: I-70 both directions closed between Manhattan exit and I-470 exit at Topeka for conditions. Expected re-open time not known.
- #TOPEKATRAFFIC Here's why US-24 LEFT LANE @ Grantville had been closed earlier this afternoon. Incident is cleared
- Replying to @DougClemons6 @KDOTHQ and 3 othersChance of dying unbelted in a crash at highway speeds almost guaranteed, chance of dying belted far less. Never a 100% guarantee, but why would you risk leaving behind grieving family and friends when it costs exactly nothing to take a proven preventative measure. Prove me wrong.
- I-70 and I-35 are closed coming out of Topeka. DO NOT attempt travel.
- 📣THE U.S. 40/K-10 DDI IN LAWRENCE IS NOW FULLY OPEN TO TRAFFIC!! Don't be intimidated by the new configuration - the road, pavement markings and signage will help direct you through the DDI! @lawrenceks @LawrenceKS_PD @douglascountyks @DGSOSheriff @LJWorld
00:00 - as of 6 a.m. all roads in NE Kansas completely covered. No closures. Do not be fooled, there's a layer of ice below the snow. Recommend not trying to travel until noon. If you must travel, allow A LOT of extra time and increase those following distances A LOT.
- Replying to @LawrenceKS_PD and @StevenDialTVkeep keeping it real, Lawrence PD!
- Replying to @NEKansasKDOTUPDATE - I-70 between Manhattan and Topeka IS NOW OPEN to traffic. Continue to use extra caution while traveling and check Kandrive.org for road condition information.
