Kansas Department of Transportation

 

The Kansas Department of Transportation will start a resurfacing project the week of Oct. 6 along U.S. Highway 54 starting east of the intersection of Panhandle Road to the Meade/Seward county line.

U.S. 54 will be reduced to one lane in smaller sections as work takes place on the 8.3-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. The highway will be open to normal traffic when construction is not taking place.

J & R Constructors Group LLC of Liberal is the contractor on this $2.1 million project. Weather permitting, it is expected to be completed by the beginning of November.

For more information, contact Joel (Simon) Valdez, Construction Manager, at 620-417-7706 or Yazmin Moreno, Public Information Officer at 620-765-7080.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones. For current road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 5-1-1. For updates on highway projects in southwest Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/southwest-district.
