Within the next two weeks, a road construction project to resurface the U.S. 183 Bypass in Hays is set to begin.
The five mile job begins at the U.S. 183 junction within the south city limits of Hays, and continues north to the I-70 junction.

The scope includes a partial mill and 1 ½-inch overlay of new asphalt material.

During construction flaggers and a pilot car operation will guide one-lane traffic through the work zone during daylight hours. Delays of 15 minutes or less should be expected through the construction time frame. The public should plan their travels accordingly. KDOT urges drivers to pay attention to the signs and workers within a construction zone. Please slow down and “Give ‘Em A Brake!”
This highway 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, the work should be complete by mid-September.
