Fairground Road west of the U.S. 183 bypass will be closed to traffic starting Monday, July 22, through Monday, Aug. 5. The closure is part of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s project to reconstruct the U.S. 183 bypass and I-70 interchange at Exit 157 near Hays.
No detour will be in effect during the closure. Access to the Ellis County Fairgrounds and RPM Speedway will be available from the west side of the property via county roads. Enersys access will also remain open at its south entrance.
Wildcat Construction Co. Inc., of Wichita, is the primary contractor with a total contract cost of $20.8 million. For more information, contact KDOT Area Construction Engineer Mitchel Johnson at 785-261-6135 or [email protected].
