Beginning Monday, July 21, a portion of U.S. 40 in Douglas County will be closed to traffic while Kansas Department of Transportation maintenance crews replace a drainage structure under the roadway.

U.S. 40 will be fully closed between mile markers 375 and 376 from Monday, July 21, until Friday, July 25, conditions permitting. The area is just east of the East 600 Road intersection.

No detours will be posted, and motorists will need to use alternate routes.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones. For current road conditions, visit KanDrive.gov or call 511. For updates on highway projects in northeast Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/bureaus/offtransinfo/NENRelese.asp.
