Kansans caught in snarl of storm

By HPJ Staff

Westbound Interstate 70 is closed between Salina and Colorado state line and eastbound I-70 is closed from Colorado state line to Hays due to winter weather and reduced visibility causing dangerous travel conditions, according to authorities.

The Kansas Department of Transportation had this graphic posted at 7:30 a.m. Jan. 9.

Many secondary roads, including U.S. Highways 54, U.S. 50, and U.S. 83, are also closed in western Kansas due to dangerous travel conditions. Travelers are cautioned not to drive around the road closures, barricades, and gates.
