Completed in July of 2010, this project is located in Dallas County, Missouri just south of Buffalo. (Approximately 25 miles North of Springfield.) The project is a new alignment of US-65 that stretched from the southern edge of Buffalo to 4.3 miles south.  It consisted of 142,500 SY of 9” Concrete Pavement that was 26’ wide.

Koss began paving in April of 2010 and was finished with the paving portion of the project in early June, despite the battle with the Missouri rain season.  The project had an overall smoothness of 13.6 in/mi, which was achieved with minimal corrective grinding. Prior to the new construction, this project contained the last remaining section of 2-lane highway from Buffalo to the Arkansas State Line. The traveling public can now enjoy the drive to Springfield on a safe and speedy 4-lane highway.  Koss, along with their subcontractors, are proud to say in the words of the Missouri Department of Transportation that this project was “Completed as Promised.”

In the summer of 2009, Koss Construction paved 50,500 SY of 6” concrete pavement to reconstruct the runway at the Scott City Kansas Municipal Airport.  Faced with a tight schedule, the Koss team met this project head on.  The contract allowed for the runway to be out of service for only 60 days.  Alongside experienced subcontractors, the Koss team completed the project on time and accident free.  Through a value engineering proposal, Koss was able to save the City of Scott City enough money to complete additional taxiways and aircraft parking areas that were not included in the original budget.  The engineer and city officials felt fortunate that Koss submitted the low bid and was able to deliver a quality project faster than they had anticipated.  Koss Pride shows on the smoothest 5,002 foot long runway in Western Kansas.

Koss Construction has completed the widening and expansion of US-69 to a four lane expressway from the north Linn County line through the junction of US-54 in Fort Scott.   This much needed system improvement provides a four lane, controlled access highway, replacing a heavily traveled and dangerous two lane roadway.  Nine separate contracts included more than ten million cubic yards of excavation as well as 40 bridges and over 1,800,000 square yards of PCCP on treated sub grade and cement treated base were completed between 2003 and 2009.

This project, completed in 2008, included the surfacing of more than 100,000 SY of PCCP in multiple phases as well as toll booths with access tunnels, retained earth, multiple bridges and a commercial building.  The pavement included two roundabouts.  When one roundabout pour was completed from beginning to end, a manager commented that some days it feels like we are chasing our tails, today we caught it.  A challenging project to start with, made more difficult with plan changes and two very wet construction seasons.
