0:00It's April 28th, I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Kansas News Today, your AI-powered local news. Starting Monday, May 4th, the entrance and exit ramps on Interstate 70 at North 110th Street and Kansas City, Kansas, will close, temporarily for major upgrades. Buck Ease is leading the project to fix the overpass bridge structure and roadway, widen the ramps, and add new traffic signals. This worked ties into Buck Ease's recent groundbreaking nearby, aiming to handle more traffic flow in a busy spot. Advanced warning signs went up on April 27, and detour routes will guide drivers around the closure. Local spots like Kansas Speedway, Hollywood Casino, and Sporting Park make this interchange crucial for the community, so folks might feel the pinch. During events or daily commutes, Buck Ease coordinated with the unified government, Kansas Department of Transportation, and Kansas Turnpike Authority to keep disruption short. They're pushing to wrap up and reopen everything before big local happenings kick off.
