U.S. 169 will allow southbound traffic between Minnesota and Hawaii roads once the road reconstruction project enters its second phase at the end of this week.
On Tuesday, the Register reported the new phase, which will include the closure of 169 between Hawaii Road (the Humboldt turnoff) and Delaware, or Tank Farm Road, south of Humboldt.
At the same time, the highway will be opened to traffic north of Hawaii Road, Kansas Department of Transportation spokeswoman Priscilla Peterson said. Southbound motorists must exit at Hawaii Road. Tuesday?s article stated only northbound traffic would be allowed along that stretch.
