Resurfacing project to begin along U.S. 160 in Clark County

The Kansas Department of Transportation has scheduled traffic changes to start on March 16 along U.S. 160 in Clark County from the north junction of the U.S. 160/283 east to Clark/ Comanche county line.

U.S. 160 traffic will be reduced to one lane in sections as crews work to resurface this 30.7-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 a length restriction of 75-feet during active construction. U.S. 160 will be open to normal traffic when construction is not taking place.

Venture Corporation, of Great Bend, is the primary contractor on this $5.7 million project. Weather permitting, it is expected to be completed late this spring.
