Busy Wichita freeway ramp set to close temporarily

A busy Wichita freeway ramp is set to be closed much of the day on Friday, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. As part of an ongoing project, the ramp from westbound Kellogg to southbound I-135 will be closed from 6 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Friday, according to KDOT. The closure is for redecking work, the department said, which is part of an overall bridge replacement project. For the duration of the project, the inside lanes on I-135 (from Lincoln to Douglas) and Kellogg (Hillside to Topeka) will be closed intermittently. As a reminder to drivers, the department said all scheduled work is subject to weather conditions.

Urine smell, bugs in liquor, old foods & more at Wichita KS restaurants, hotels

Urine odor in a stairwell, bugs in liquor, insects around food equipment, stained and torn bedding, old meat and milk, exposed carpet nails, smoke detectors that didn’t work, expired medication for sale and more are among violations state inspectors discovered during recent food safety and lodging inspections in the Wichita area. Each week, The Eagle adds to its searchable database of failed inspections from Sedgwick County. Seven restaurants, hotels and other businesses were non-compliant with state regulations Oct. 25-31. Inspectors found few or no violations that week at more than 30 other locations deemed compliant with food safety and lodging rules. Kansas Department of Agriculture inspections are meant to protect the public from foodborne illnesses and other health risks. Locations can fail if they have too many problems, certain types of violations or issues that can’t be fixed right away. Violations are common. Most of the time, they’re corrected in front of an inspector. Examples of things that can be addressed immediately include serving food that’s more than a week old, employees mishandling ingredients and dirty kitchens. Issues that may take longer to correct include pest infestations, power outages and plumbing problems. It’s rare, but a business may be temporarily

Andover to revitalize Prairie Creek Road a year earlier than planned

An Andover road project that will add new pavement, curb and gutter and a 10-foot multi-use path will be completed in conjunction with a major bridge project already underway. Prairie Creek Road between the KTA bridge and 21st Street will be the site of the project — a portion of the roadway that was annexed into the city limits at the latest council meeting. This project is meant to fill the gap that would be left after restoration for the Prairie Creek bridge is completed next year. The bridge, near the Prairie Creek addition housing development and Hope Community Church, is undergoing a year-long replacement project led by the Kansas Turnpike Authority. That project does not expand past the bridge, which is what the city is hoping to address with the road project. The city initially committed funds to connect Cloud and Clyde streets into a south service road. But when a multifamily development on that road dropped a project that was to be completed in 2027 after it did not get a low-income tax credit, the city diverted the funds to the Prairie Creek Road project instead, moving it up to the 2027 capital improvement plan and moving the
