Road work begins on US-283 in Clark County

The Kansas Department of Transportation expects a resurfacing project on U.S. 283 in Clark County to begin the week of May 9, weather permitting. The mill and overlay project runs from the north junction of 283/160, north through Minneola.

During construction, traffic will be limited to one lane through the work zone, guided by a pilot car. Drivers can expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The Kansas DOT urges drivers to be alert, pay attention to all work zone warning signs, slow down when approaching a work zone and be prepared to stop.

Venture Corporation of Great Bend is the primary contractor on this $1.4 million T-WORKS preservation project. KDOT expects work on this project to be completed by the end of June, depending on weather.
