Both lanes of Highway 127 across Wolf Creek Dam will be closed two days next week as part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the spillway gates at the dam.
The road will be closed from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. next Monday, September 15 and next Thursday, September 18.
During the closure, there will be no access across Wolf Creek Dam via Highway 127. Accommodations will be made for emergency and school traffic as required.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the road will be fully closed while the crane is moving the work platform over the roadway on the downstream side of the dam. This is in preparation for the removal and installation of Gate 2 on the dam. The corps said the roadway could be reopened before 4 p.m. on those days.
Message boards will be placed at predetermined sites to provide additional information.
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and use alternate routes.
