The Kansas 911 board sent out information on a possible fix for the cellular phone outage...if you have wifi calling turned on, turn it off and reboot your phone. This should clear up the issue for your phone.
There appears to be a Verizon outage currently. Many people are unable to make or receive calls, while others can. This appears to be over a wide area as McPherson is experiencing it as well.
FYI for people traveling US50 west of Burrton over the next few months...
U.S. 50 bridge repair project to begin in Reno County
U.S. 50 bridge repair work will start soon in eastern Reno County. The Kansas Department of Transportation project is on the U.S. 50 bridge over a railroad three-quarters of a mile west of the Reno/Harvey County line. The work is expected to begin around Oct. 7 and be completed around the end of May, depending on the weather. During the work, traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled by flaggers or traffic signals. Motorists should be prepared to slow down and stop and expect delays of up to 15 minutes. PBX Corp., of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, is the primary contractor for the $898,150 project. For updated information on this and other KDOT highway projects and road conditions across the state, go to

Reports regarding traffic incidents, winter road conditions, traffic cameras, active and planned construction, etc.FYI if you're visiting the Solid Waste facility in the next few weeks.UPDATE: The SW 24th St bridge closure has been rescheduled by the contractor to start on Monday, Oct. 7.

A portion of SW 24th Street will be closed for a few weeks beginning Wednesday, Oct. 2, for painting of the bridge over Sand Creek.
SW 24th Street will be closed to all traffic between South Anderson and Cow Palace Road. Visitors to the Harvey County Solid Waste Transfer Station will need to take U.S. 50 to Cow Palace.
The work is expected to be completed by mid-November, weather permitting. King Construction is the prime contractor for the project. Lindner Painting Inc. is the subcontractor.
