Road Closing, No Thru Traffic and Detour Information

 

The Kansas Department of Transportation provides road closing, no thru traffic and detour information for the construction on Highway 166 near Baxter Springs.

 

KDOT has closed Highway 166 east of Baxter Springs until the fall. As a result there has been a significant increase in traffic on secondary roads near the construction zone. KDOT has designated Southeast 5-Mile Avenue, Commons Road and 90th, north and south of Highway 166, as No Thru Traffic zones.

 

As a result of this designation, motorists who do not live in that area will need to utilize the approved detour north from Baxter Springs on Highway 69/400 to Riverton, then east on 166 to Galena and South on K26, or in reverse order, to navigate around the KDOT construction zone.
