HUTCHINSON, Kan. — KDOT announced Tuesday that a section of Avenue V east of Sterling will be closed between 18th and 19th roads for bridge construction for about a year beginning Tuesday, June 1.
The bridge construction is part of an $81.7 million, 15-mile realignment of K-14 in Reno and Rice counties that recently started. During the realignment construction, traffic can use the existing K-14/96 alignment in the two counties.
The Reno County portion of the realignment will be from 4.45 miles southeast of Nickerson northwest to the Reno/Rice county line. The length is 7.34 miles.
The Rice County portion will be from the Reno/Rice county line to just north of the K-96/Avenue T junction. The length is 8.08 miles.
The project is due to be completed by June 16, 2023.
