(Update: KDOT will allow traffic to move in both directions between Minnesota and Hawaii Roads on Friday 12/7/18, weather permitting.)

Weather permitting, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin the second phase of the U.S. 169 pavement reconstruction project in Allen County on Friday.

Sometime late Friday, the highway will be closed from Hawaii Road (the Humboldt exit) south to Delaware (Tank Farm) Road.
