Highway 24 and Columbian Road Intersection Improvement
project in Wamego is set to begin Monday, April 17, 2023.
The Highway 24 and
Columbian Road Intersection Improvement project in Wamego will add traffic
signals to the intersection. Additionally, a right turn lane for eastbound

Highway 24.
Highway 24 will be
reduced to one lane in both directions between Heritage Drive/Cameron Circle
and Commerce Drive with the right eastbound and westbound lanes of Highway 24
closed to allow for construction work.
Columbian Road will
be closed to through traffic from Highway 24 north to Henry Drive and south to
Country Club Drive. Motorists will be able to access the USD 320 sports complex
from the south.
Bayer Construction,
Manhattan, is the general contractor. The project is funded by KDOT, the City
of Wamego, and Pottawatomie County with the County administering the project.

is weather dependent but is expected to be completed by mid-June.
