I-70 westbound was closed in western Kansas this afternoon.
The Kansas Department of Transportation extended the westbound I-70 closure from Salina to the Colorado state line, and another closure continues on I-70 from Goodland to Russell, Kansas.
Both directions of I-70 reopened to traffic on Wednesday afternoon.
Numerous other highways in western and south central Kansas also were closed because of low visibility from blowing dust and crashes blocking roadways, according to KDOT. They reopened later in the day.
Additional closures were expected to continue into the evening, according to KDOT.
