Beginning on Friday ( July 17 ) a portion of K-43 in Dickinson County will receive a three-inch asphalt overlay. The project will begin at the western K-43 / 1400 Road junction then go north to the I-70 / K-43 / Mink Road interchange. The city of Enterprise will be excluded from this project.

Traffic will be carried through construction via a flagger and pilot car during daylight hours. There will be a 12-foot width restriction within the work zone. Plans call for the project to be completed on or about August 31, weather permitting.

KDOT said the purpose of the project is to extend the life of the roadway and improve the ride quality.

The project is being funded through T-Works.
