NORTON — The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will host an open house from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 3, to provide information on the upcoming closure of K-23 in Sheridan County.

The event will be held at the Hoxie Community Center, 820 Main Street, in Hoxie. 

Attendees may stop in at their convenience during the event to review project details and detour information. KDOT and project staff will also be available for questions. No formal presentation will be given.

The closure is scheduled to begin Monday, March 31, and is necessary for the modernization of six miles of K-23 between County Road 70 (CR-406) and Walnut Avenue in Hoxie. 

KDOT expects to reopen the highway in the fall and fully complete the project in early 2026.
