Kansas Department of Transportation
The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a resurfacing project on about 16 miles of Interstate 70 in Ellis County the week of Aug. 23.
The construction will take place on the westbound and eastbound lanes starting just west of the Trego County line and ending at the U.S.183 junction at exit 159 in Hays. Project work will consist of a mill and inlay on the driving lanes, followed by an overlay on the roadway and shoulders. New pavement markings will also be installed.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane through the work zones with a decreased speed limit. Minor delays not exceeding five minutes should be expected.
KDOT anticipates work to be completed in early December, weather permitting.
Venture Corporation of Great Bend is the primary contractor for the $9.3 million project. For more information, please contact KDOT area construction engineer Nick Rogers at 785-625-9718 or [email protected].
