HOXIE — The Kansas Department of Transportation announced today it has rescheduled an open house regarding pavement replacement and closure of Kansas 23 from Hoxie to the U.S. 83/Kansas 383 junction.

The initial meeting was postponed in the midst of this week’s snowstorm.

The two-hour meeting to discuss the project, scheduled to begin this spring, will be at 11 a.m. Feb. 18 at the Hoxie EMS building, 1717 Oakley.

KDOT engineers and employees with the contractor in charge of the project will outline the temporary phasing of construction, detail the official state detour, and answer specific questions regarding access to county roads.
