Kansas Department of Transportation
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A combined project totaling almost $10.4 million with a mill and hot-mix-asphalt overlay on about 35 miles of K-61 in Pratt and Reno counties is soon to be complete.
The Kansas Department of Transportation project began around May 22 and a Friday update from the agency estimates completion before the Labor Day holiday.
The Pratt County portion of the work is on K-61 from just north of Pratt -- where the four lane-portion transitions to two lanes – north to the Pratt/Reno county line.
The Reno County segment is on K-61 from the Pratt/Reno county line north to the south edge of the Ninnescah River bridge just north of Arlington.
For now, traffic continues to be restricted to one lane and controlled by flaggers and a pilot car. Motorists should expect to slow down and stop and face delays of up to 15 minutes.
APAC Kansas Shears Division, of Hutchinson, is the primary contractor for the almost $10.4 million project.
