RILEY COUNTY - Starting Friday, May 3rd, Kansas Department of Transportation plans to start Phase 3 of the K-18/K177 pavement improvement project.
Phase 3 of the project will have traffic traveling head-to-head in the southbound/eastbound lanes while crews reconstruct the northbound/westbound lanes.
Work will be done in subphases, to keep traffic flow.
This Phase is expected to take until July to complete, weather-permitting and provided traffic follows the marked routes through the area and avoids the newly poured roadway.
Turning restrictions at the intersections of McDowell Creek Road, Stadel Road, Zeandale Road, Pride Drive, Johnson Road and Acorn Lane will remain in place.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of highway construction projects across Kansas, go to www.KanDrive.gov or call 5-1-1.
