Traffic alerts:

Due to heavy holiday weekend and KU and K-STATE football traffic, travelers should allow extra time to reach their destination, especially when using I-70 between Kansas City and the west edge of Lawrence.

* K-State traffic can use their normal exits.

* Westbound KU traffic should use Plaza 202/West Lawrence with access to McDonald Dr and Iowa.

* Eastbound KU traffic should use either Plaza 197/Lecompton with access to K-10 or Plaza 202/West Lawrence with access to McDonald Dr and Iowa.

Construction zone information:

* Plaza 204 in Lawrence with access to US 59/US 40 and North Lawrence is closed until November 2010. View additional information here.

* A pavement replacement project to the east of the Kansas River Bridges project is narrowing traffic to one lane in each direction until November 2010. For additional information, view Construction Updates. All traffic moved to the Eastbound lanes on June 17. A new, 10' width restriction went into effect at that time. Traffic will move to the Westbound lanes in mid-September.

* Due to two construction projects in this area and reduced lanes, delays are possible, especially during times of increased traffic such as rush hour and Friday evenings.

* Travelers between MP 210 and 201 should obey the 60 mph speed limit.

* Travelers must obey the 10' width restriction through the construction zone.

* Find photos of the project on KTA's Flickr site.
