Project Description

KDOT will reconstruct approximately 6 miles of K-23 in Sheridan County. In its current condition the project has limited sight distance for passing vehicles, narrow shoulders and steep side slopes. The project will involve rebuilding the road into a 30-foot paved surface with 3-foot turf shoulders. 

The work will begin at County Road 70 South (CR-406) and extend to Walnut Avenue in Hoxie. The bridges over Sand Creek and the South Fork Solomon River will be replaced as well. 

Work will occur over multiple construction seasons. In March 2025, KDOT will close the highway entirely, and a state route detour using I-70, U.S. 83 and U.S. 24 will be in effect. KDOT expects to reopen the road in late fall 2025, and the entire project is expected to be completed in early 2026.
