Much needed repairs are underway
along a 21-mile stretch of K-27 in northern Cheyenne County from the west U.S.
36/K-27 junction north to the Nebraska border. Above average rainfall and
temperatures last summer led to deteriorating pavement conditions that required
action prior to this year’s construction. As a temporary fix, KDOT crews laid
down approximately 300 tons of hot mix along a 12-mile stretch of the route to
tide it over until 2016.
This year’s work includes a
4-inch milling of the road surface, followed by application of a 3-inch inlay
and 1.5-inch overlay. Construction began in early June and is expected to be
completed by mid-August. Venture Corporation is the primary contractor with a
total contract cost of approximately $4.7 million.
