The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) plans to close 5 Mile Avenue east of Baxter Springs on Monday, July 31. During the closure, a tie-in to the new alignment of U.S. 166 will be constructed. A new crossroad pipe will also be installed on the road.
5 Mile Avenue should reopen to traffic in three weeks, weather permitting. Persons with questions may contact Doug Pulliam at KDOT-Pittsburg, (620) 308-7613, or Priscilla Petersen at KDOT-Chanute, (620) 902-6433.
