Description

Construction is underway to widen and improve US 85 between Sedalia (SH 67) and Louviers in Douglas County. The project will ease congestion, improve access to side streets and left-turn lanes, improve drainage, enhance safety, add wildlife fencing and build a new bridge. The project is scheduled for completion in July 2022.

Schedule

Listed below are the traffic impacts and road work to expect this upcoming week of May 29 – June 4 for the US 85 Widening project:

  • Inside lanes for both directions of US 85 will be closed for median work activities.
  • For US 85, northbound and southbound, there will be various shoulder closures from Sedalia to Titan Road for erosion control, deer fencing, and roadway grading.
  • Also, there will be intermittent traffic stops just south of Airport Road near mile marker 193 for equipment crossings. There will be flaggers to direct traffic.
  • Weather permitting, work will take place Tuesday through Friday, 7am-5pm.
  • There will be no work on Monday, May 30.

Weather permitting, our project is scheduled to complete by end of June. We will continue to keep you updated on any schedule changes and appreciate your continued patience.
