Roads and landmarks around Emporia in Lyon County

Emporia is where the Kansas Turnpike divides. At exit 127, a trumpet interchange rebuilt in 2008, I-35 leaves the toll road and heads east through the city as a free interstate toward Ottawa, while the turnpike carries on north-east to Topeka as I-335, with the Emporia Service Area in its median. US-50 angles in from Newton and joins I-35 eastbound. K-99 is Commercial Street: coming up from the south past Emporia Municipal Airport, it crosses the Cottonwood River beside the Soden's Grove Bridge, crosses the three-track BNSF main line at grade into downtown, then follows Merchant Street past Emporia State University to a diamond interchange with I-35 and crosses the Neosho River on its way out. BNSF also keeps a yard here on its former Southern Transcon main line. On the industrial side are the Hostess Brands bakery, the Simmons Pet Food plant and Hopkins Manufacturing.

Lead with the road, because I-35, I-335, US-50 and K-99 all meet here. Give your direction and the exit or mile marker; on the turnpike, say whether you are north or south of exit 127. In town, Commercial Street, 6th Avenue or Merchant Street plus a cross street works. At a plant, give the company name and the gate.

Emporia semi towing and recovery where I-35 leaves the turnpike

Northbound, I-35 reaches Emporia after about 30 miles of turnpike with no exits or services and leaves the toll road at exit 127. From there the Kansas Turnpike continues as I-335, with the Emporia Service Area at mile 132 and only one more interchange, exit 147 for US-56 near Admire, before Topeka, while free I-35 heads east with US-50 toward BETO Junction. The city's plants include the Hostess bakery, Simmons Pet Food and Hopkins Manufacturing, BNSF keeps a yard here, and K-99 crosses the three-track main line at grade on Commercial Street. A tractor-trailer that quits on the turnpike ramps, a bus on US-50 or a dump truck stuck at a plant gate gets a heavy-duty towing response from Titan Tow & Repair: the heavy-duty tow unit or a heavy wrecker, rigged by WreckMaster-certified operators for a winch-out, uprighting or crash recovery.

In Emporia a car or pickup gets the same attention. After a slide into the median, a ditch or deep snow, a winch-out brings it back to the pavement, and a rollback flatbed carries it off if it will not run. Say which road you are on, your direction and the exit or mile marker, and whether the trailer is full or empty. Liberty answers around the clock.

Towing in Emporia: common questions

My semi has an air leak at the Emporia Service Area on I-335. Will your service truck come out?

Yes. Titan Tow & Repair sends the mobile service truck to the Emporia Service Area around the clock, dispatched from Liberty, Missouri. A truck parked at the service area is out of traffic, which makes an air line, brake or tire repair a simpler job than the same work on the shoulder. The service area sits in the turnpike median north-east of Emporia, so tell us which way you were heading, where you are parked, and what the trailer is carrying. If the fault cannot be fixed there, we send a heavy wrecker instead.

Can you reach a support car stuck on a Flint Hills gravel road during Unbound Gravel weekend?

Yes, anywhere inside our service area. Titan Tow & Repair tows cars and pickups 24 hours a day, dispatched from Liberty, Missouri. Unbound Gravel starts and finishes in Emporia on the first weekend after Memorial Day and runs on gravel routes through the Flint Hills, so a support vehicle can end up in a ditch or on a shredded tire well away from pavement. Drop a map pin if you have signal, name the last town or highway you passed, and say whether the car is off the road or simply will not run.

My pickup stalled in high water on K-99 at the Cottonwood River crossing in Emporia. What now?

Get out and move to higher ground if the water is rising, then call. Titan Tow & Repair recovers flooded cars and pickups in Emporia 24 hours a day. K-99 crosses the Cottonwood beside the Soden's Grove Bridge on the south edge of town, and in May 2019 flooding from that river closed the highway between Emporia and Olpe, so the low ground there can take water. Once you are safe, tell us where the pickup sits, how deep the water is, and whether it stalled or was driven in. Do not try to restart a flooded engine.
