Kansas Department of Transportation

The Kansas Department of Transportation has scheduled to start a resurfacing project the week of April 13 along Kansas Highway 144, from the U.S. Highway 56/K-144 intersection to the U.S. Highway 83/K-144 junction in Haskell/Gray counties.

K-144 traffic will be reduced to one lane in sections as crews work to resurface this approximately 16-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. K-144 will have a width restriction of 11 feet and length restriction of 75 feet during active construction. The highway will be open to normal traffic when construction is not taking place.

Venture Corporation, of Great Bend, is the contractor on this $2.7 million project. Conditions permitting, work is expected to be completed by late June.
