Road Closure Announced by City of Sedalia for Overnight Thursday

Evergy has notified the City of Sedalia that beginning at midnight on Thurs., March 16 through 4:30 a.m., South State Fair Blvd. both northbound and southbound lanes will be closed to traffic from West 3rd Street to Rainbow Drive, including North Woodlawn Drive, due to utility work in the area.

A significant number of utility workers, vehicles and equipment will be working in and along the roadway resulting in the need for road closure. Travelers will need to plan on using an alternate route during this period as South State Fair Boulevard will be closed.

Residents needing to leave their homes between the hours of midnight and 4:30 a.m. are encouraged to plan alternate routes in advance to avoid closed intersections. The Evergy crew working in the area will assist them with exiting the work zone between midnight and 4:30 a.m. Thursday, March 16.

This work is weather and equipment dependent and as such may be affected by inclement weather or equipment breakdowns. The City apologized for any inconvenience this may cause as Evergy works to improve the electric infrastructure within our community.
