PRATT — Work on a section of U.S. 54 in Pratt will begin soon.
The Kansas Department of Transportation project involves grading and pavement replacement on U.S. 54 from New Street to Mound Street in Pratt. The length is .15 of a mile.
During the work – expected to start around Aug. 23 and be completed around the end of the year – traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction, and the speed limit will be set at 20 mph through the construction zone. New, High and Mound streets will be closed periodically throughout the project.
Vogts-Parga Construction, of Newton, is the primary contractor for the $744,409 project.
