K-156 in Hodgeman County will rehabilitate the pavement and add shoulders on about 15 miles of K-156. The project corridor begins four miles west of the U.S. 283 junction in Jetmore, to 228 Road north of Hanston. Estimated construction cost is $30.5 million.
The construction letting is scheduled for the summer of 2024. Construction is expected to start before the end of 2024 and anticipated to take two construction seasons to complete. The majority of the K-156 project will be constructed under traffic with appropriate traffic control measures in place. A short-term closure of K-156 west of Jetmore will be required to flatten the existing profile and reconstruct the roadway.
The K-156 project was identified as a regional priority at Local Consult meetings in 2018. KDOT responded with practical improvements which address long-term safety and mobility concerns along this well-traveled highway and key freight corridor. The project is one of five Modernization and Expansion highway projects in southwest Kansas that have been committed to construction as part of the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE).
Information presented at the Oct. 21, 2021 public meeting is available below for those unable to attend. This project has continued to progress and project details included in the materials below may have been updated since the public meeting.
