The right lane of eastbound I-70 from 134th to K-7 will be closed for ramp construction work at 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 1, and will reopen to all traffic at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, the lane will be closed 24-7, around the clock. The reopening date will be weather-permitting.

This work is part of Phase 1 construction for the 10-phase K-7 and I-70 interchange project in Wyandotte County, a KDOT spokesman said.

The overall Phase 1 project work is scheduled to be completed by late fall 2014, weather permitting.
