Lane closures are planned Saturday on the Turner Diagonal. (KDOT)

As part of the Turner Diagonal Interchange construction project there will be lane closures on westbound I-70 and ramp closures to and from the Turner Diagonal and 78th Street in Wyandotte County this Saturday, Nov. 7, that will affect traffic.

The Kansas Department of Transportation recommends that motorists consider taking an alternate route. The work is necessary to finish the permanent pavement markings needed for this project and open the project to unrestricted traffic, according to KDOT.

• Two lanes of westbound I-70 from 65th Street to 78th street will be closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• The ramp from westbound I-70 to northbound and southbound Turner Diagonal will be closed from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• The ramps from northbound and southbound Turner Diagonal Freeway to westbound I-70 will be closed from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• The ramp from westbound I-70 to 78th Street will be closed from 77 a.m. to 1 p.m.
