STOCKTON — A pavement replacement project on an eight-block stretch of U.S. 183 is scheduled to begin June 16, weather permitting.

The scope of the project is to remove the existing driving lanes and replace with nine inches of concrete pavement from U.S. 24 north to Eighth Street.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by stoplights. Minor delays should be expected, not exceeding 5 minutes.

The Kansas Department of Transportation urges all motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs, and “Give ‘Em a Brake!” when approaching and driving through the construction zone.

KDOT awarded this construction contract – totaling $950,000 – to Smoky Hill, L.L.C. The project should be completed early October, weather permitting.
