Riley County emergency officials are warning of potential delays in emergency response because of a road closure north of Manhattan and could seek a temporary solution to alleviate those delays.
Emergency Management director Russel Stukey told county commissioners Thursday that the Kansas Department of Transportation’s closure of K-13 near Tuttle Creek Dam has left residents who live in the Tuttle Cove area with only one way in and out.
Any crash or blockage on the dam could significantly delay emergency responders from getting to anyone who lives in that area.
