Highway on-ramp to close on I-70 in Topeka

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Drivers on I-70 in Topeka will soon be unable to use a highway on-ramp as part of ongoing work on the Polk-Quincy Viaduct (PQV) project.

Kate Craft with the Kansas Department of Transportation said in a press release on Oct. 16 that workers will be closing a highway on-ramp onto eastbound I-70 in Topeka from MacVicar Avenue. KDOT will shut it down around 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18 and keep the closure in place until near the end of the year.

Craft said the closure is needed so crews can complete the ramp’s paving tie-ins and acceleration lane on eastbound I-70. No detours are planned for this closure.

The PQV project is scheduled to last into 2027 and has a total price tag of around $239 million. You can learn more about the PQV project by clicking here.
