Ash Street west of US 77 in Junction City will be opened to traffic and the detour removed on Monday. The intersection will still be controlled by the temporary traffic signals as the permanent signals still require work.

The information from KDOT was provided by Geary County Emergency Management.

Due in part to an accident with the temporary traffic signal at McFarland Road and US 77 on Friday, the new signals there will remain in flash mode in conjunction with the stop signs ( 4-way stop condition ). They will flash until work can be completed to activate them. Tentatively, the contract hopes to have both the Ash and McFarland signals up and fully functioning by this Thursday ( Nov. 3 ).

Striping is scheduled be completed on US 77 by Wednesday ( Nov. 2 ), and traffic on US 77 will be flagged around that operation.

Also, the traffic signals at K-18 and Spring Valley Road have been put in flash mode ( yellow on K-18 and red on Spring Valley Road ). Those signals are scheduled to flash until Wednesday ( Nov. 2 ) at which time they will be fully activated. Spring Valley Road north of K-18 is scheduled to be open Monday ( Oct. 31 ) and the detour removed.
