Another passing lane is being added to U.S. 400.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, the plan is to start a project that will add passing lanes to both sides of U.S. 400 in Greenwood County. The section of 400 is just west of the K-99 junction, between Piedmont and Severy. Traffic will be carried through construction with lane shifts. Flaggers and a pilot car may be used intermittently on the project, with traffic reduced to one lane and delays of 15 minutes or less. KDOT awarded the construction contract of $9.3 million to APAC-Kansas, Shears Division of Hutchinson. The project starts today, and weather permitting, should be finished by late December 2023.
