I-70 & Gage Boulevard Interchange RAMP CLOSURE TRAFFIC ALERT for Week of June 23-27, 2014 in Topeka (Shawnee County) WEEKDAY RAMP LANE CLOSURE: Eastbound I-70 free-flow right lane on exit ramp to Gage Boulevard will be CLOSED for utility project work by Westar Energy, on Monday-Friday, June 23-27 between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day, weather permitting, in Topeka (Shawnee County). The eastbound I-70 to Gage Boulevard exit ramp is a two-lane ramp and the left lane on the ramp will remain open so that exiting traffic can still access both northbound and southbound Gage Boulevard. This utility work is part of Westar’s project to modernize Topeka’s electrical grid by installing a new line connecting the substation at S.W. 17th and Fairlawn Road with the Education Substation at Kanza Education and Science Park near S.W. 6th and MacVicar. The line will exit Westar’s new Education Station Substation at Kanza Education and Science Park heading west just south of I-70 to Gage Boulevard. It will then follow along Gage to S.W. 6th Street, then along S.W. 6th to S.W. Fairlawn Road, at which point it will follow Fairlawn to the existing substation at S.W. 17th and Fairlawn.

Drivers should expect only minor delays during the daytime ramp lane closure. The Kansas Department of Transportation urges all motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs, and “Give ‘Em a Brake!” when approaching and driving through the project work zone
