Roadwork to begin on K-25 North of Atwood Beginning approximately June 19, a road construction project to overlay a portion of K-25 is set to begin in Rawlins County. Specifically, the job begins just north of the U.S. 36 junction and extends north to the Kansas/Nebraska state line. The scope includes a 1 ½-inch mill and overlay of new asphalt material on approximately 13 miles of the roadway. Traffic will be reduced to one lane; and controlled by flaggers and a pilot car operation during daylight hours on this project. Minor delays should be expected through the construction time frame, not exceeding 15 minutes. The public should plan their travels accordingly. Pay attention to the signs and workers within a construction zone and “Give ‘Em A Brake!” KDOT awarded this construction contract - totaling $1,164,678 - to Venture, Corp. of Great Bend. This project is funded by T-WORKS, the Transportation program passed by the Kansas Legislature in May of 2010; and designed to create jobs, preserve highway infrastructure, and spur economic development opportunities across the state. Weather permitting, this construction project will be complete by mid-July. For questions concerning this project, please contact KDOT Area Two Engineer Eric Oelschlager at (785) 626-3258 or [email protected] in Atwood; or KDOT Northwest Kansas Public Affairs Manager Kristen Brands at (785) 877-3315 or [email protected] in Norton. ##
