Original story:

Two ramps connecting I-135 and K-96 highways in north Wichita will be closed Saturday for the removal of a crane and concrete safety barriers.

The southbound ramp from I-135 to eastbound K-96 and the westbound K-96 ramp to northbound I-135 will be closed between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with completion expected by late Saturday afternoon, the Kansas Department of Transportation said in a news release.

There will also be temporary lane restrictions on northbound I-135 for new striping alignment.

“During the closure period, detour signs will be in place to guide drivers to alternative routes. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating through the area,” the release said.
