Not a Huge deal here but since some could be in the area this weekend thought I would throw it out here. Traffic speed is reduced to 45 (Fines Doubled <---and they're not joking :cry from hwy 275 about 5 miles S of Fremont NE to the Hwy 275 and Hwy 77 junction. There really are no alternatives to avoid this area so expect to plan for a few extra minutes to pass through.

Des Moines, IA Area June 4-5

Just heads up for anybody traveling around Des Moines this weekend.

I-235 will be shut down for about a 6 mile stretch. I35/80 will of course be open and flowing as usual to go around the north side of the city and the Highway 65/5 bypass is there to take you around the south side of the city.

K99 South of Emporia is closed due to the cottonwood River being out of its banks and will probably be a couple days provided we get no more rain (storms tonight likely). Also U.S. 177 between Strong City and Cottonwood Falls is closed for Cottonwood River flooding as well.

All East Central and Northeast Kansas rural roads are crap right now from flash flooding and scours so exercise extreme care even on well-known roads.

Looks like we're going to get more rain tonight and tomorrow so don't bet on any relief soon.

In South Dakota-

I-29 4 mi S of Sioux Falls, Tea Exit, one lane for 2 miles due to bridge reconstruction, speed limits are down to 40 mph, and project completion in early 2007.

In Oklahoma, I35 between norman and OKC traffic has been slowed due to some rebuilding of on/off ramps.

Also I-44 halfway between OKC and Tulsa has delays as traffic on both sides moves from 2 lanes to 1 lane for about a mile due to some bridge repairs. Delays have varied due to the time of day, anywhere from 2 - 45 mins.

US 77 at Arkansas City, KS. Bridge repair is going on at the south side of Ark City. Single lane traffic and reduced speeds. If you're on a storm, I would try to find an alternate route, though they are few and far between.

I-35 to US 160 or US-177 to Wellington are viable options. Further East, the options are far more limted and require some knowledge of the backroads. The paved option would be OK-18 through Shidler, though several backroad options exist.

US 77 north of Ponca City to Newkirk is being re-paved. Single lane traffic during the day is common.
