PRATT COUNTY — A K-42 pavement reconstruction is underway at Sawyer, in Pratt County.
The Kansas Department of Transportation project is from the K-42/U.S. 281 junction to the east city limits of Sawyer.
The finish date for the work has been pushed back into November, according to an Aug. 22 update from KDOT.
During the work, K-42 will be closed through Sawyer, and motorists will be directed to an official state detour on U.S. 281, U.S. 54/400 and K-14.
KDOT uses state highways for official detour routes for safety, weight and maintenance concerns.
The first map below shows the approximate project location, marked with the red dot. The second map shows the detour route.
Vogts-Parga Construction, of Moundridge, is the primary contractor for the $1,597,038 project.
