(KNZA)--A project will begin Monday ( September 16th ) to complete improvements at two U.S. 24 intersections in Jefferson County.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says the project work includes the addition of turn lanes and traffic signals at the U.S. 24 and Ferguson Road intersection and widening work at the U.S. 24 and Linn Road intersection.
Once all widening work is completed, crews will then mill away 2-inches of the existing asphalt pavement followed by a 2-inch overlay of new asphalt at both intersections.
Beginning on Monday, traffic on U.S. 24 from Linn Road to Ferguson Road will be reduced to one lane. Traffic will be directed through the work zone via a flagger and pilot car operation.
Drivers should expect delays of up to 15 minutes maximum and are encouraged to use alternate routes, if possible.
Hamm Inc., of Topeka, is the primary contractor on the more than $700,000 project which is scheduled completion in mid-November, weather permitting.
