KANSAS CITY — Kimberly Qualls with the Kansas Department of Transportation has announced that all lanes of SB I-35 have reopened as of 5 p.m. The lanes were expected to be closed until 5:30, but that has been amended. Delays are still expected as traffic slowly picks up speed.

Crews closed the southbound lanes of Interstate 35 at I-635 to remove a damaged overhead sign structure. KDOT says that a car went off the right side of SB I-35 at about 3:20 p.m. and struck a pole leg that supports the sign between exit 231 and 232.
