Bid date moved up for U S 50 400 four lane project
Kansas Department of Transportation officials plan to set bids for the U S 50 400 four lane project from Garden City to Holcomb on February 18, earlier than the prior March date. Officials say stimulus prospects and market pricing could push costs higher, so the move aims to secure a better price before prices rise. District 6 engineer Larry Thompson notes potential price increases if stimulus passes and more work enters the market.
