KDOT is making multiple investments along K-156 in Finney and Hodgeman counties to address safety concerns, enhance economic growth and keep Kansans moving.

KDOT is investing more than $100 million in Finney and Hodgeman County highway infrastructure to address safety concerns and support economic growth in the region. There are multiple projects in various stages along K-156 including pavement preservation, pavement widening, improving drainage structures and bridge replacements.

K-156 Pavement Widening and Bridge Replacement in Finney County

This project will resurface K-156 and add shoulders, replacing two bridges and four culverts from the west K-23/K-156 junction east to the Hodgeman County line, about 12.9 miles. The estimated construction cost is $18.1 million.

K-156 Pavement Widening and Bridge Replacement in Hodgeman County

This project will resurface K-156 and add shoulders on about 15 miles of K-156. The project corridor begins four miles west of the U.S. 283 junction near Jetmore to 228 Road north of Hanston. Construction cost is $21.5 million.

Timeline

• Phase 1: Minimal impacts to traffic (November 2024-February 2025)
• Phase 2: Traffic will be controlled by temporary traffic lights (March-July 2025)
• Phase 3: Road closure on section of K-156 west of Jetmore will be required to flatten the existing profile and reconstruct the roadway; state detour will be used to redirect traffic using U.S. 283, U.S. 50 and K-23 for 90 days. (Summer-Fall 2025)
