Resurfacing to begin on U.S. 69 in Linn County

Press release

A Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) resurfacing project on U.S. Highway 69 in Linn County will begin the week of July 28.

The project will resurface U.S. 69 with ultrathin bonded asphalt for just over 7 miles from Pleasanton to just north of the Kansas Highway 52 and U.S. 69 north junction. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction during work.

Work is expected to be completed on the project by the end of September, conditions permitting.

KDOT awarded the $2.1 million contract to Pearson Construction of Wichita.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones. For current road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 511. For updates on construction projects in Southeast Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/projects/southeast-kansas-projects.
