KDOT: Progress update on concrete patching and profile grinding along U.S. 50 in Finney County

A concrete patching and grinding project along U.S. 50 in Finney County is in progress, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. The project began in July and starts west of Holcomb, then extends east 8.4 miles to the end of the four-lane near 3rd Street.

Patching work is currently ongoing at both ends of the project. Grinding has started on the eastbound lanes on the west end of the project. Once all the patching work is complete, the pavement along both directions of the entire project will be ground to smooth the highway.

Minimal traffic delays are expected to continue as the work zone, marked with signs and cones, will have one-lane traffic with a reduced speed limit. These lane closures on U.S. 50 will remain in effect while work is ongoing, with a 12-foot road width restriction.

RA Knapp Construction Inc., of Lenexa, is the contractor on this $5.1 million project, which is expected to be completed by Spring 2026, weather permitting.

For more information on the project, contact Yazmin Moreno, Public Information Officer at 620-765-7080 or Craig Schlott P.E., District Construction and Materials Engineer, at 620-765-7096.
