The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to close a 6-mile portion of K-383 in Phillips County on Monday, March 7, weather permitting.

The closure will begin 2 miles east of Long Island near the Prairie Dog Creek bridge and end at the U.S. 183 junction. Traffic should follow the signed detour route on U.S. 183, U.S. 36 and K-60.

The closure is part of Phase I of the T-WORKS project to rehabilitate and reconstruct the K-383 corridor from the east U.S. 36 junction in Norton County to the U.S. 183 junction in Phillips County. KDOT split the project into three separate phases for construction with Phase II consisting of the 6 miles from the east U.S. 36 junction to Almena and Phase III covering the remaining 14 miles from Almena to east of Long Island.

KDOT expects Phase I to be completed in December 2022.

For more information about the project or closure, please contact area construction engineer Jim Riener at 785-543-8433 or public affairs manager Lisa Mussman at 785-874-8107.
