The Kansas Department of Transportation has reopened I-70 at Hays as of 9:45 a.m. CDT. U.S. 40 at Oakley and K-27 from Sharon Springs to the Kansas/Nebraska border have also been reopened. As always, please use caution when driving during winter weather conditions.
As trucks and travelers left Hays Thursday, after the reopening of I-70, the Vine St. intersection was congested as a large number of trucks attempting to enter I-70 from the north were causing traffic to move slowly.
While getting onto the Interstate was slow going, traffic was flowing smoothly, while dozens of truckers were still waiting to leave Hays, on both north and south of I-70.
