Call and we will give you an honest arrival time for where you are sitting.
What we run into in Lawrence
Through Lawrence, I-70 is the Kansas Turnpike, running along the northern edge of the city with three exits that serve it: Lecompton at exit 197, where K-10 begins; West Lawrence at exit 202, on McDonald Drive; and East Lawrence at exit 204, where US-40 and US-59 meet it. Between the last two the turnpike crosses the Kansas River, and further east the Lawrence Service Area sits in the median. US-59 is the north–south spine. It arrives from Ottawa as a freeway, drops to an expressway with at-grade crossings south of town, and becomes Iowa Street, lined with shopping centers. K-10 enters from Johnson County at 23rd Street. BNSF roughly follows the river through the city, with Union Pacific on its north side. The University of Kansas on Mount Oread is the largest employer, and Hallmark Cards and Lawrence Memorial Hospital are also on the list.
Start with the road. On the turnpike, name the exit you passed last, Lecompton, West Lawrence or East Lawrence, and your direction. In town, a street and cross street such as Iowa and 23rd is enough. On K-10, say whether you are west or east of the US-59 interchange.

Towing in Lawrence — common questions
My semi quit on the turnpike bridge over the Kansas River at Lawrence. Can a heavy wrecker get to it?
Yes, at any hour. Titan Tow & Repair sends heavy wreckers from Liberty to the Kansas Turnpike through Lawrence, where I-70 crosses the Kansas River between the West Lawrence exit at McDonald Drive and the East Lawrence exit at US-40 and US-59. Room to work on a bridge is tight, so put the hazards on, set triangles only if you can do it safely, and wait somewhere clear of traffic. Then tell us your direction, which exit you passed last, what the trailer is carrying and roughly what it weighs, so the right wrecker and rigging leave the yard.
Who moves a dead car off Mount Oread on a KU game day?
Titan Tow & Repair does, 24 hours a day, with a rollback flatbed that carries the whole car off the ground. The University of Kansas sits on Mount Oread, and on a day when Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse is full, the exact spot matters more than usual. Give dispatch the lot or the street and nearest cross street, plus a campus building if you know one. US-59 runs along the west edge of campus on Iowa Street, which is often the easiest reference. Tell us where the keys are and where the car should go.
Which Lawrence exit should I give dispatch: West Lawrence, East Lawrence or Lecompton?
The one you passed last, plus your direction of travel. Titan Tow & Repair asks because three Kansas Turnpike interchanges serve Lawrence: exit 197 at Lecompton, where K-10 starts the South Lawrence Trafficway; exit 202, West Lawrence, which lands on McDonald Drive; and exit 204, East Lawrence, where US-40 and US-59 meet the turnpike north of the river. If you are past East Lawrence heading toward Kansas City, the Lawrence Service Area in the median is a useful landmark. A mile marker narrows it further still.
