Kansas Department of Transportation
According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic changes are scheduled to start March 17 along U.S. Highway 160 in Meade and Clark counties from the U.S. Hwy. 54/160 junction east to the U.S.160/U.S. Highway 283 junction.
U.S. 160 traffic will be reduced to one lane in sections as crews work to resurface this 17.3-mile project area. Motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes as flaggers and a pilot car direct one-lane traffic through the work zone.
The lane reduction will be marked by signs and cones. U.S. 160 will have a width restriction of 10 feet and length restriction of 75 feet during active construction. U.S. 160 will be open to normal traffic when construction is not taking place.
J &R Sand Company Inc., of Liberal, is the primary contractor on this $3.3 million project. Weather permitting, it is expected to be completed late this spring.
