As resurfacing work continues along U.S. 160 in Ulysses, the Kansas Department of Transportation advises motorists to expect a temporary city detour the week of June 8, during concrete paving operations.

During paving, traffic will be detoured from U.S. 160 via North Stubbs Road to Industrial Avenue to South Missouri Street. The detour is expected to last approximately 8 to 10 hours and will be removed once paving equipment is clear and driving lanes have been swept. Motorists should plan accordingly and watch for detour signage and advanced warning signs in the area. This detour is necessary to allow the contractor to pour mainline concrete pavement.

All other project restrictions previously announced remain in effect, including the 11-foot width and 75-foot length vehicle restriction and reduced speed limit through the work zone.

Vogts-Parga Construction LLC, of Moundridge, is the contractor on this $2.5 million resurfacing project, which is anticipated to be completed by the end of July, weather permitting.
