KINGMAN COUNTY – A nearly $8.8 million resurfacing project will start around July 25 on about 38 miles of K-42 in Pratt, Barber and Kingman counties.
The Kansas Department of Transportation project involves a recycle and hot-mix-asphalt overlay on K-42 in those counties. The work will also add 2-foot shoulders on some K-42
curves in those counties.
The project will cover almost 9 miles in Pratt County on K-42, from the U.S. 281 junction to the Pratt/Barber county line; almost 5 miles in Barber County on K-42, from the Pratt/Barber
county line to the Barber/Kingman county line; and almost 24 miles in Kingman County, from the Barber/Kingman county line to the K-14 junction.
The work is expected to be completed around late October.
During the work, traffic will be controlled by a pilot car and flaggers. Motorists can expect to stop and face delays of up to 15 minutes.
APAC-Kansas Inc. Shears Division, of Hutchinson, is the primary contractor for the nearly $8.8 million project.
