The Ciy of Manhattan said starting Monday, December 16, two-way traffic on Denison Avenue will be restored south of Kimball Avenue to the NBAF main entrance, allowing NBAF traffic to access the facility directly from Kimball rather than the detour.
However, the next phase of Denison Avenue construction will start around the same time, with a closure extending south from the NBAF entrance to the north side of the Kerr Drive intersection. The overall area detour will remain in place for Denison Avenue frontages south of the NBAF complex (see map above for details).
During this next period of construction, traffic access to Denison south of Kimball will be “right in, right out” only. Denison traffic will not be able to cross Kimball to the north nor turn left across traffic to go westbound — only turn right onto Kimball.
Westbound traffic on Kimball will be able to turn left onto Denison, but must yield to oncoming traffic before turning as there is still no signal in place at the intersection.
Denison Avenue will remain closed from NBAF to Kerr Drive through the summer of 2025, but this closure will continue to move south afterward as work proceeds.
Access to the K-State Recreation Center, BRI and Veterinary Medicine buildings will be impacted by this closure. Please see map below for specific detour details.
