I-70 Shutdown Begins June 8

Major road changes are hitting Topeka starting Monday, June 8th, as I-70 between Topeka Blvd and 8th Ave shuts down for the entire stretch until December for the Polk-Quincy Viaduct rebuild. Drivers will be rerouted via I-470, with access ramps still available at MacVicar Ave, Topeka Blvd, 8th Ave, and 10th Ave — plus Kansas Ave and Topeka Blvd remain open for locals. KDOT is urging everyone to plan ahead, as additional short-term closures on Kansas Ave and Topeka Blvd between 1st and 3rd streets, plus a weekend closure later in June, are also on the calendar. More traffic impacts are expected as the project progresses — weather permitting — so always check KanDrive.gov or call 511 for real-time updates. This is just the start of major changes for Topeka’s downtown arteries. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
