Two connected resurfacing projects, involving a milling and hot-mix-asphalt overlay, will start soon on U.S. 166 in Cowley and Sumner counties.
One of the Kansas Department of Transportation projects on U.S. 166 – in Cowley County — will be from the Sumner/Cowley county line to near the Arkansas River bridge just west of Arkansas City. The length is almost 5 miles.
The other KDOT project on U.S. 166 – in Sumner County — will be from 450 feet east of Rock Road to the Sumner/Cowley county line. The length is almost 5 miles.
The work is expected to begin around Sept. 23 and be completed around Oct. 22. (Continue story below ads.)
During the work, traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled by flaggers and a pilot car. Motorists should be prepared to stop and expect delays of up to 15 minutes.
The map above shows the approximate location of the combined projects, traced in red.
Pearson Construction, of Wichita, is the primary contractor for the $1,546,167 project in Cowley County and the $1,450,129 project in Sumner County.
