HOXIE — A 19-mile section of Kansas 23 north of Hoxie is now open to traffic. The section had been closed since mid-March in order to rebuild the roadway.

KDOT awarded the construction contract – totaling $14.5 million – to Venture Corp. of Great Bend.

This project is funded by TWORKS, the transportation program passed by the Kansas Legislature in May 2010.
