Work at the K-32/Turner Diagonal Freeway/Kaw Drive interchange continues, weather permitting, in Kansas City, Kansas.

** 1/24/2025 Update**
Beginning January 27, K-32 will be closed east of 65^th Street for continued work on the Turner Diagonal Freeway. Eastbound K-32 is expected to re-open on February 2, weather depending. Please slow down and observe detour(PDF, 70KB) signs.

The Kansas Department of Transportation(KDOT) multi-phase project began in October 2022 and includes the replacement of the eastbound and westbound K-32/Turner Diagonal Freeway bridges over Kaw Drive and the Union Pacific Railroad lines.

The first two phases of this project are complete. Phase 3 has begun and the project is expected to be complete in 2026.

Impacts to traffic are as follows:

• Phase 3 (March – May 2026): various ramp closures; single lane K-32/Turner Diagonal Freeway traffic will cross over to travel head-to-head; eastbound Kaw Drive closure during bridge demolition.

Work will occur overnight during weekdays from 6 PM to 6 AM. Message boards are in place, alerting motorists to closures and directing traffic toward advised detours.

Detours will be marked and include the following:

• Eastbound K-32 ramp to continue on eastbound K-32 (purple on map): Traffic will be directed east on Kaw Drive to 57^th Street and travel north to eastbound I-70, then take the exit to enter southbound I-635.
• Southbound Turner Diagonal Freeway to Eastbound Kaw Drive ramp (blue on map): Traffic will be directed east on K-32 and take the exit to enter northbound I-635, take the exit to enter westbound I-70, then exit at 57^th Street and travel south to eastbound Kaw Drive.
• Westbound K-32 ramp to continue on westbound K-32 (orange on map): Traffic will be directed via northbound I-635 to take the exit and enter westbound I-70, then exit at 57^th Street and travel south to Kaw Drive and then enter westbound K-32.
• Westbound Kaw Drive to eastbound K-32 ramp (green on map): Traffic will be directed west to travel northbound on 57^th Street and enter eastbound I-70, then enter southbound I-635 and take the exit for eastbound K-32. Traffic will be controlled using lane closures, barricades, message boards, signage, and cones.
