The Kansas Department of Transportation have opened three ramps to traffic at the U.S. 169/U.S. 160 interchange in Montgomery County.

The fourth ramp, connecting southbound U.S. 169 to westbound U.S. 160, remains under construction. The signed state detour for southbound U.S. 169 traffic uses U.S. 400 west to U.S. 75, and U.S. 75 south to U.S. 160 at Independence.

KDOT started construction in April 2019 to convert the intersection at the north junction to a grade-separated interchange. King’s Construction of Oskaloosa is the primary contractor on the $12 million project.

Drivers are reminded to slow down and use caution in the work zone.
