KDOT

NORTON – KDOT has started a chip seal and striping project that will reconfigure a portion of U.S. 36 through Norton from four lanes to three between Second Street and the east city limits.

The current four-lane design will be restriped with a dedicated left turn lane in each direction at the U.S. 283 junction, and one lane of traffic in each direction with a center turn lane east of the U.S. 283 junction.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of next week, weather permitting.
