WICHway

We are happy to report that communication technology problems that have plagued four cameras on K-96 (Hillside, Oliver, Chisholm Creek & Woodlawn) have now been resolved.

Radar (and thunder) suggest a second round of morning thunderstorms are likely in Wichita soon. An earlier cell produces high winds, driving rain and a few traffic incidents. Storm moving west to east...

Repeat after me: Must check www.WICHway.org before I travel. Must check www.WICHway.org before I travel. Must check www.WICHway.org before I travel.

We are not sure what this is heading eastbound on US 54. Maybe a parade float?

Wichita KDOT reports today is the final day of K-96 ramp repairs (Hillside & Oliver). Today the contractor is at WB K-96 & Oliver. Entrance ramp is closed until 3 pm; WB K-96 Exit ramp is open but workers are finishing up at the bottom of the ramp.

As you can see, the eastbound K-96 ramps at Hillside are closed today from 9 am until 3 pm.

Thursday we'll see the same work but on the westbound K-96 ramps at Hillside.

Next week: The ramps at Oliver & K-96.

It's March! In like a lion... some unusual congestion this morning.

Our West Street www.WICHway.org camera was removed for the reconstruction of the entrance ramp from West St. to eastbound US 54 so this is our best view of I-235/US 54 Interchange construction work from the east.

The US 54 bridge over West St. will be widened to accommodate merging lanes from new, expanded ramps from I-235.

The camera at West St. will return.

www.WICHway.org is easy to use on your smartphone too. Don't be these drivers.

This is why you should check www.WICHway.org before you drive Kellogg. Crash on WB US-54 at Hillside has two right lanes blocked.

What the??? Sometimes our cameras capture a moment that is not what it seems.

No, this camper is not careening off of Kellogg. It is on the NB I-135 Ramp to WB US-54 and we just happened to take a still picture of it. Every few minutes, www.WICHway.org captures a still photo from the video stream and posts it to the web in our camera tour.

Traffic looks normal for a Friday morning in Wichita.

Our I-135 at Pawnee camera is out after the power supply was struck by a vehicle. We're waiting on parts. Three cameras out on east K-96 have radio issues. We're waiting on someone (else) to climb the tower.
