(KMZA)--A resurfacing project is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Aug. 12 in Pottawatomie County, conditions permitting.

The Kansas Department of Transportation- scrub and chip seal project covers about 18.7 miles of K-63, from the north city limits of St. Marys to the north K-16/K-63 junction.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane and directed through the work zone by a pilot car and flaggers when crews are actively working. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.

Work will take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours and is expected to be completed in early September.

Circle C Paving and Construction LLC, of Goddard, is the prime contractor for this $820,000 project.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones.
