Weather delays road work on East 23rd Street

The Kansas Department of Transportation has suspended a road maintenance project that was scheduled to begin Monday on East 23rd Street between Haskell and Barker Avenues.

KDOT said the project has been suspended until further notice due to cold temperatures and the likelihood of snow this weekend.

The project is expected to take three days and calls for milling and overlay on either side of the new bridge. During the project, traffic in both directions will be reduced to one lane between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

KDOT said it will make an announcement when the work is rescheduled.
