Phase 7 of Dodge City’s Downtown Streetscape Project to begin Monday

Dodge City, Kan.–The City of Dodge City has announced that construction for Phase 7 of the Downtown Streetscape Project is set to begin on Monday, September 8.

This phase covers 1st Avenue between Wyatt Earp Boulevard and Gunsmoke Street, including the intersection at 1st Avenue and Gunsmoke Street, as shown on the map below. This phase is expected to be completed in the summer of 2026. Throughout the project, downtown businesses will remain open and accessible by sidewalk. As sidewalk work begins, temporary ramps will be installed to ensure customers and visitors continue to have safe and convenient access.

As pedestrians navigate through the construction area, please be alert for construction equipment, loose or shifting soil, freshly placed concrete, tar sealant, and other hazards. Always be aware of your surroundings when passing through these zones. As construction progresses, we ask that everyone adhere to all traffic control measures to ensure safety for both themselves and others. If you notice any unsafe conditions or issues that require attention, please contact Building Solutions at (620) 225-1199. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
