From the Kansas Department of Transportation:

Tomorrow, a section of U.S. 283 in WaKeeney will close while the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad makes repairs to their tracks.

From the U.S. 283/Business 40 junction to the intersection of U.S. 283 and Warren Street,  283 will be closed for two days.

The closure will begin at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, and will expire by 6 p.m. on Thursday.

Any over-sized loads will need to find alternate routes.   All other local and through traffic will need to follow the posted signs for an alternate route.

Please pay attention to the signs and workers within a road construction zone.  Slow down and “Give ‘Em A Brake!”

For questions concerning this temporary closure, please contact Northwest Kansas Public Affairs Manager Kristen Brands at (785) 877-3315 in Norton.
