The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin resurfacing K-43 in Dickinson County Monday, May 5.
Project work will consist of a mill and overlay on about 19.5 miles of K-43 beginning at the I-70 junction and continuing south to the K-4 junction at Hope. Resurfacing will exclude Enterprise but include the I-70 ramps and Navarre.
During construction, flaggers and a pilot car will be used to guide one lane of traffic through construction at a reduced speed. When the contractor reaches construction at Navarre, one lane of K-43 will be closed through town at a time while maintaining access for adjacent residents and deliveries.
While work continues in Navarre, crews will also begin resurfacing on K-43 about May 22 at the I-70 junction and continue south on K-43. During this time flaggers and a pilot car will guide one lane of traffic through construction at a reduced speed. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules
Shilling Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor for this $3 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in August, weather permitting.
