Work on a pair of resurfacing projects in Sherman County is scheduled to begin the week of Sept. 16.

The Kansas Department of Transportation will mill and overlay the 2 miles of U.S. 24B in Goodland between the K-27 junction and I-70 interchange. Traffic will be reduced to one lane through the work zone and directed by flaggers and a pilot car. Delays not exceeding 15 minutes should be anticipated.

Following completion of work on U.S. 24B, construction will begin on a 15-mile portion of I-70 starting at Exit 12 near Caruso and ending near Edson. Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a decreased speed limit in the areas where crews are actively working.

KDOT expects the projects to be completed in late October, conditions permitting.

Venture Corp., of Great Bend, is the primary contractor for both projects with a combined contract cost of $7.9 million. For more information, contact KDOT Area Construction Manager Todd Anderson at 785-953-6011 or [email protected]
