(KNZA)--A Kansas Department of Transportation project is scheduled to begin on U.S. 36 in Fairview on Monday, May 12, conditions permitting.

The project spans within the city limits and will include milling and overlay on U.S. 36, and sidewalk, storm sewer and curb and gutter improvements.

KDOT says traffic on U.S. 36 will be one lane in each direction throughout the project, with lane shifts occurring as work progresses.

Work will take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours.

Ebert Construction Co., of Wamego, is the prime contractor on the $2.3 million project, which is expected to be complete by December.

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