Roads and landmarks around Ottawa in Franklin County

Ottawa is laid out on both banks of the Marais des Cygnes, and its big highways run around the city more than through it. US-59 comes up from Princeton, joins I-35 and US-50 on the south side, shares the freeway past the K-68 interchange by the Walmart Distribution Center, then peels away north at a trumpet interchange as the divided route to Lawrence that replaced the old two-lane road. At Ottawa, I-35 swings from east to north-east toward Wellsville and the metro. K-68 crosses the river west of town and heads east toward Louisburg, picking up the southern end of K-33 just east of the city. Walmart and American Eagle Outfitters both run distribution centers here, BNSF provides freight rail service, and the Ottawa Co-Op operates a grain elevator. Levees and pumping stations built by the Army Corps of Engineers line the river.

Several interchanges sit close together here, so name yours: the south-side junction where US-59 joins I-35, the K-68 exit by the Walmart Distribution Center, or the trumpet where US-59 leaves for Lawrence. In town, give the street, a cross street and which side of the river you are on.

18-wheeler towing and recovery around the I-35 bypass at Ottawa

In Ottawa the interstate skirts the city instead of cutting through it. I-35 and US-50 bypass the south and east sides, and US-59 shares that freeway from its junction on the south side to the trumpet ramp where it turns north on the divided highway to Lawrence, completed in 2012 to replace an old two-lane road with high accident rates. K-68 meets the bypass near the Walmart Distribution Center, American Eagle Outfitters also runs a distribution center here, and BNSF serves the city by rail. When a semi, bus, box truck or dump truck stops, jackknifes or leaves the shoulder, Titan Tow & Repair sends heavy-duty towing in the form of a heavy wrecker or the heavy-duty tow unit, with WreckMaster-certified operators rigging each winch-out, uprighting or accident recovery.

Cars and pickups get the same dispatch. One that has gone into a ditch, soft mud along the Marais des Cygnes, or snow anywhere around Ottawa gets vehicle recovery, and a rollback flatbed if it will not drive. Name the highway and your direction, the closest interchange or crossroad, which bank of the river you are on, and whether the rig is loaded or empty. Trucks leave the Liberty yard at any hour of the day.

Towing in Ottawa: common questions

Can a heavy wrecker reach a loaded semi on the I-35 bypass around Ottawa?

Yes, 24 hours a day. Titan Tow & Repair sends heavy wreckers from Liberty down I-35 to Ottawa, where the interstate and US-50 skirt the south and east sides of the city, with US-59 riding along between its two junctions. Tell us your direction and the nearest interchange: US-59 on the south side, K-68 near the Walmart Distribution Center, or the trumpet where US-59 turns north. Add what the trailer carries and roughly what it weighs. If the fault is air, lights or a tire, the mobile service truck may get you rolling where you stopped.

My pickup slid off a county road into the Marais des Cygnes bottoms outside Ottawa. Can you winch it out?

Yes, in most cases. Titan Tow & Repair runs winch-outs for pickups and cars around Ottawa at any hour, dispatched from Liberty, Missouri. Ground along the Marais des Cygnes sits low, and the river flooded Ottawa again and again before the Army Corps of Engineers built its levees and pumping stations in the 1960s, so after rain the bottoms can be soft. Tell dispatch the road name, the nearest crossroad and which side of the river you are on. A photo of how the pickup is sitting helps us choose between a straight winch-out and a flatbed.

My car won't start downtown near the Plaza Grill and Cinema. Can a flatbed take it to a garage?

Yes. Titan Tow & Repair sends a rollback flatbed for cars at any hour, and because a flatbed lifts the whole car off the ground, all-wheel-drive models travel without harm. The Plaza Grill and Cinema is a well-known downtown Ottawa landmark, so it works as a reference point if you do not have an address. Give us the street and cross street, the make and model, where the keys are, and the garage, dealer or home address you want it taken to, whether that is in Ottawa or back toward the metro.
