In an effort to continually improve the turnpike, we are working on the following areas:

Digital messaging signs will be installed from Wichita to the Oklahoma border beginning in the spring of 2012. Watch for crews and temporary lane closures along this route during this process.

The City of Wichita will begin work on enlarging a drainage box at MP 41 in early March. This work will reduce traffic to one lane in each direction for the entire duration of the project.

An overlay project is scheduled to begin on May 1 with a final completion date of late September. Drivers should expect one-lane travel on this section of I-35 in the Flint HIlls.

Crews will begin work in June to remodel the toll plaza at Exit 71. Work will include new booths and canopy and curbing. Please watch for construction crews at this location.
