Brief closure of I-435 and I-35 announced for Friday morning
Interstates 35 and 435 will be briefly closed again Friday morning at the Johnson County Gateway interchange, transportation officials said Thursday.
The closure would repeat a procedure carried out Thursday, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.
The roads will be closed completely for about 15 minutes at 9:30 a.m.
The closure had not been planned but was needed because the scheduled demolition Thursday of a section of bridge did not go as planned.
Traffic on I-35 and I-435 will be stopped from Kansas 10 to U.S. 69 and from 95th to 119th streets while crews remove a bridge girder.
Overnight, westbound I-435 will be reduced to one lane at I-35 until 5 a.m. Friday.
KDOT planned to alert drivers Friday morning with signs along the highways.
