An effort to ease traffic congestion on I-70 near Fort Riley began Tuesday morning, with an agreement for inbound traffic only to Marshall Field off of I-70 from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. five days a week.
Geary County Sheriff Jim Jensen indicates it was an agreement involving Geary County, Fort Riley and the Kansas Department of Transportation.
The arrangement will allow for three lanes of traffic into Marshall Field during those hours, which will be observed on weekdays. Jensen indicates military police are directing traffic during those times and it will be well-marked, but he wanted motorists to be advised of the change.
