Road Work Slows Drive to Perry State Park

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) recently announced that K-237, the highway leading toPerry State Park from US-24, will be closed to all traffic round the clock through mid-September 2013 for utility and paving work.

KDOT has provided a marked detour via Thompsonville Road (located about 2 miles east of K-237), north to 22nd Street then west to K-237. Drivers should expect delays and use alternate routes during the closure. Updated traffic information for the project can be viewed at: www.ksdot.org/topekametro/laneclose.asp.

KDOT urges motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs, and 'Give 'Em a Brake!" when approaching and driving through project work zones.
