K-7 pavement repair project to start at Girard

In early November, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) expects to begin a pavement repair project on a 500-foot section of K-7 at Girard. K-7 will be closed to traffic north of K-47.

A state route detour will be signed on K-47, U.S. 69 and K-39 (see map).

Project activity includes repairs to the base drains and replacing the water lines and pavement. KDOT awarded the construction contract of $388,686 to Mission Construction, St. Paul.

Weather permitting, the work should be completed by mid-December.
