On Tuesday, K-16 will be closed to through traffic just east of Blaine, between Kansas Avenue and Marshall Road.

On Wednesday, K-16 will be closed to through traffic about 2 miles east of Onaga, between Straight Creek Road and Lincoln Road.

KDOT says each closure will be in place from 7 am to 5 pm, or until work is complete. No detours will be posted, and motorists will need to use alternate routes.
