Kimball Avenue Construction Alters Parking Access at Sports Complex
Mar 07, 2022 | Athletics
MANHATTAN, Kan. – A new phase of construction will close a portion of Kimball Avenue beginning Monday, March 7, affecting access into the parking lots surrounding the K-State Sports Complex.
Â
Fans attending the KSHSAA Class 2A Basketball Championships March 9-12 in Bramlage Coliseum should note that the roadway will be closed between Gate 5 on the west side of the Sports Complex to Gate 8 on the east side. With parking for the tournament available only in the stadium's west lot, fans will have to access the lot driving eastbound on Kimball from the west to Gate 5 or through Gate 3 off College Avenue.
Â
Traffic coming to the Sports Complex from the east side of Manhattan on Tuttle Creek Boulevard (US 24) will need to detour to Marlatt Avenue, approximately one-half mile north of Kimball. From there, fans can access the west parking lot by driving westbound to College Avenue and turning south to the complex. All fan/school buses for the KSHSAA Class 2A Basketball Championships are instructed to enter the west parking lot through Gate 5.
Â
Kimball Avenue will be closed until late August for this phase of the North Campus Corridor project. The intent of this project is to improve safe transit for pedestrians and vehicles through this corridor during both normal traffic and athletic events. The improvements will include storm water infrastructure, a new traffic signal at Kimball and Agricultural Road, an additional bus drop-off, pedestrian facilities on the north and south side of Kimball and improved access through the K-State facilities north Kimball.
