The City of Manhattan has announced for those coming into Manhattan on Saturday, August 31 for Kansas State University’s first home football game of the 2024 season, there are some traffic reminders:
- The biggest remaining disruption nearest to Bill Snyder Family Stadium is the ongoing closure of Denison Avenue south of Kimball Avenue.
- Construction on Kimball Avenue has been completed and the roadway is open to east-west traffic at the Denison Avenue intersection.
However, shipping delays related to the new traffic signal for the intersection will prevent Denison from reopening to left turns.Only “right-in” and “right-out” traffic is allowed for Denison from Kimball during the season. Through traffic on Kimball does not stop!Denison will remain closed south of Kimball to the intersection to Olympic Drive (Recreation Complex entrance) during the football season.Fans who normally utilize Denison to access parking lots along Kimball will need to use College or Manhattan avenues.Parking for Lot E4, VIP and the student tailgate area is accessible from Denison through Olympic Drive. - If you are coming into town on K-177, you should either use the off-ramp to access Tuttle Creek Boulevard or turn right onto 3rd Street to access downtown. 4th Street is closed north of Pierre Street for the rest of 2024.
- Anderson Avenue from Seth Child Road to Wreath Avenue is under construction, a project that will last well into this fall. Traffic is one lane in both directions, so fans should expect delays in this area.
- There is also a closure just north of there at the intersection of Dickens Avenue and Wreath Avenue. Gameday traffic should stay on Seth Child Road and avoid this area. Please follow all signage and drive safely!
