KDOT K-25 ROAD PROJECT MARCH  -JULY 2012

The first project is to reconstruct approximately 11 miles of K-25 from Russell Springs to U.S.-40 in Logan County.  That section of roadway is now closed to traffic during the construction period, which started today. Workers will remove the existing pavement, stabilize the soil/road base, and construct new, wider pavement – with six inches of asphalt material.  When complete, the new highway will have paved shoulders with rumble strips.  The rumble strips are an added safety feature that alerts travelers who are driving too close to the road’s edge.

The official state detour will take travelers onto K-96, U.S.-83, and Interstate-70.

A bridge replacement project on K-25 Highway in Thomas County also began today.  It will utilize the same detour.

KDOT closed the bridge located along K-25, approximately 2.5 miles south of I-70.  While the bridgework is underway, K-25 will be closed from I-70 south approximately three miles.

Weather permitting, both projects will be complete by the first part of July.  At that time, the closed sections of K-25 will re-open to normal traffic and the detour will be discontinued.

For more information regarding this project or any other project, please contact KDOT’s District Three Engineer Jeff Stewart or District Three Public Affairs Manager Kristen Brands at (785) 877-3315 in Norton.

Both K-25 projects in Logan and Thomas counties are funded by the highway program T-WORKS.  Road project information may be viewed at the T-WORKS website at:  www.ksdot.org/tworks.
