KDOT Pavement Testing Begins in Southwest Kansas

Joe Denoyer - October 6, 2021 8:25 am

 

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will conduct pavement tests on highway sections in several southwest Kansas counties from Monday, Oct. 11, thru Thursday, Oct. 14.  Sections tested will include:

 

  • U.S. 160 in Grant and Stanton counties;
  • U.S. 56 in Morton County;
  • K-25 in Stevens County;
  • K-27 in Stanton and Morton counties.

 

The KDOT testing crew will use a falling weight deflectometer to determine pavement strength on each section of highway. The deflectometer will be traveling with a crash attenuator at reduced speeds. Motorists should expect delays of 15 minutes or less.

 

For more information on this project, contact Lisa Knoll, KDOT District 6 Public Affairs Manager, at (620) 765-7080
