(KAIR)--A major Leavenworth area travel route, long slowed due to extensive, ongoing construction, is now restored to normal. That word Wednesday by the Kansas Department of Transportation, with the agency stating that all lanes of U.S. Highway 73/K-7, from Leavenworth's Broadway Street to the Centennial Bridge, are again opened to unrestricted traffic.
Reopening comes as pavement replacement work has been completed for the long-running project.
Clean-up work will continue through the week, but an impact to travel is not expected.
Only a diamond grinding finish on the roadway pavement, along with permanent pavement markings, remain before total completion can be declared.
KDOT says those final steps are planned for sometime in the spring of 2016.
