(KMZA)--A Kansas Department of Transportation mill and overlay project will begin Wednesday, Oct. 22, in Marshall County.

The project includes U.S. 77 from Marysville to Waterville and K-9 from Waterville to the Marshall/Washington county line.

KDOT says the contractor will start on U.S. 77 near Linden Road, just south of Marysville, and work south.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane and directed by a pilot car and flaggers where crews are actively working. Motorists should be prepared for delays of up to 15 minutes. A 12-foot width restriction will be in effect through the work zone.

Work will occur Monday through Saturday during daylight hours until the winter shutdown period begins in early December. Any remaining project work will be completed next year.

All project work and traffic changes are conditions permitting.

Hall Brothers Inc., of Marysville, is the $3.8 million project- prime contractor.
