PRATT COUNTY, Kan. — Work is expected to start Wednesday, Aug. 2, on part of a resurfacing project on U.S. 54/400 in Pratt County.
The work beginning Wednesday will be limited to a mill and overlay on the centerline of the highway. The rest of the resurfacing project will occur at a yet-to-be-scheduled time.
The Kansas Department of Transportation project will be on U.S. 54/400 from the Kiowa/Pratt county line to the west city limits of Pratt. The length is almost 13 miles.
The centerline work is expected to be completed by Friday, Aug. 11.
Crews are expected to work from the Kiowa/Pratt county line east toward Pratt.
During the centerline work, traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by flaggers and a pilot car. Motorists should be prepared to stop and face delays of up to 15 minutes.
Venture Corp., of Great Bend, is the primary contractor for the overall $2,578,918 project.
