Posted Jun 24, 2026 6:54 PM

The Kansas Department of Transportation has extended the closure on a portion of K-13 north of Manhattan.

K-13 between U.S. 24 and Tuttle Cove Road was closed in January and originally expected to reopen this spring; however, weather conditions have delayed progress. KDOT now anticipates reopening the area by the end of July, conditions permitting.

Marked detours will remain in place during the closure: motorists east of K-13 can utilize K-99 and K-16, and motorists west of K-13 can utilize U.S. 77 and K-16. Drivers can follow the signed detours or find appropriate alternative routes.
