The Kansas Department of Transportation will host a public meeting regarding the upcoming construction and closure of an 11-mile stretch of U.S. 83 in Sheridan County from the Thomas County line to the K-23 junction. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 9, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Selden Community Building located at 110 N Kansas Ave., in Selden.

KDOT engineers will outline the construction phasing, provide details on the official state detour and answer questions regarding access to county roads. Construction is slated to begin this spring and be completed by May 2017. Traffic will be detoured using K-23 and U.S. 24.

The meeting location is ADA accessible. Persons in need of a sign language interpreter, an assistive listening device, large print or Braille material, or other accommodations to participate in this meeting should notify Lisa Mussman at (785) 877-3315 or [email protected].
