Working the roads in Riley County

Manhattan is the center of Riley County's road map, built where the Big Blue River meets the Kansas River in the Flint Hills. I-70 runs south of the city, and three exits lead up to it: K-177, which runs north as Bill Snyder Highway to the Kansas River viaduct; McDowell Creek Road; and K-18, which comes up past Ogden and Manhattan Regional Airport. US-24 comes in from Clay Center, runs across the north of the city past Tuttle Creek State Park, enters as Tuttle Creek Boulevard and turns north-east at East Poyntz Avenue for Wamego. K-113, Seth Child Road, links K-18 and US-24 across the west side.

Kansas State University and Fort Riley, the Army post between Manhattan and Junction City, put a lot of people on these roads, and big events at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium and Bramlage Coliseum add more. Downtown Manhattan sits on the floodplain where the two rivers meet, which flooded in the Great Flood of 1951 and again in 1993, and Tuttle Creek Lake to the north is a state park that draws campers. Riley County has no elected sheriff; the county police department does that job, so a county police officer, not a deputy, may be the one at a wreck outside town. Give us the road, the direction and the nearest exit, boulevard or landmark.

Towing service and heavy-duty recovery in Manhattan, KS

Manhattan, the county seat and home of Kansas State University, grew on the floodplain where the Big Blue joins the Kansas River and now spills over into Pottawatomie County. US-24 runs through it as Tuttle Creek Boulevard, K-177 comes in from I-70 over the Kansas River viaduct, and K-18 runs west past Manhattan Regional Airport, with K-113, Seth Child Road, tying it to US-24. Aggieville, downtown and Manhattan Town Center are reference points worth giving us.

Towing service and heavy-duty recovery in Ogden, KS

Ogden sits south-west of Manhattan on K-18, near Fort Riley on the road toward Junction City, and takes its name from Major E. A. Ogden of the Army engineers, who helped build the fort. It briefly won the county seat in 1857, until Manhattan proved that votes had been cast illegally. Beyond Ogden, K-18 turns south to meet I-70.

Grandview Plaza is just over the line in Geary County, which has too few towns in our area for a page of its own. It lies south-west of Manhattan, was founded in 1963 and belongs to the Geary County school district. Junction City is the county seat, Fort Riley covers ground in both Geary and Riley counties, and Milford Lake is in Geary County too.

Riley County towing — common questions

Which I-70 exit should I give you for Manhattan: K-177, McDowell Creek Road or K-18?

Give us the exact exit you are nearest, because all three lead to Manhattan by different roads. Titan Tow & Repair reads them this way: exit 313 is K-177, which runs north as Bill Snyder Highway to the Kansas River viaduct; exit 307 is McDowell Creek Road; and exit 303 is K-18, which runs up past Ogden and Manhattan Regional Airport. Say which way you were heading on I-70 and whether you are on the interstate, on a ramp or already up one of those roads.

Can you get a truck off the K-177 viaduct over the Kansas River into Manhattan?

Yes, 24 hours a day. Titan Tow & Repair handles breakdowns and recoveries on K-177 where it crosses the Kansas River into Manhattan, at the north end of Bill Snyder Highway. A bridge deck leaves little room to work beside a truck, so if it will still roll, clear the viaduct before you stop; if it will not, put the hazards on, set out triangles and stay off the deck. Tell us your direction, whether the trailer is loaded and whether a lane is blocked, so law enforcement can be asked to hold traffic before the wrecker arrives.

A loaded semi stalled on K-13 over the Tuttle Creek dam north of Manhattan. Who can move it?

Titan Tow & Repair can, at any hour. Its heavy-duty tow unit handles semis, and WreckMaster-certified operators take charge if the truck has to be recovered rather than simply towed. From US-24 north of Manhattan, K-13 heads through Tuttle Creek State Park and over the dam, passing from Riley County into Pottawatomie County about halfway across. Tell dispatch which end of the dam is closer, your direction and your load; the number is (816) 888-8732.
