(KMZA)--Part of K-63 in Pottawatomie County will be reduced to one lane and controlled by temporary traffic signals this week while pothole patching is completed on the bridge deck over Bartlett Creek just north of Emmett.

Kansas Department of Transportation maintenance crews will start work at 7 a.m. on Monday, April 24, and continue daily through Friday, April 28, weather permitting.

Crews will be working during daytime hours, but the temporary traffic signals will be in use for the duration of the repair project. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 10 minutes. There will also be an 11-foot width restriction through the work zone.

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of highway construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
