KDOT Release

The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin resurfacing K-43 in Dickinson County Monday, May 5.

Project work will consist of a mill and overlay on about 19.5 miles of K-43 beginning at the I-70 junction and continuing south to the K-4 junction at Hope. Resurfacing will exclude Enterprise but include the I-70 ramps and Navarre.

During construction, flaggers and a pilot car will be used to guide one lane of traffic through construction at a reduced speed. When the contractor reaches construction at Navarre, one lane of K-43 will be closed through town at a time while maintaining access for adjacent residents and deliveries.

Shilling Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor for this $3 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in August, weather permitting.
