(KAIR)--A guardrail replacement project is scheduled to begin tomorrow, Nov. 2, weather permitting,
on U.S. 59 approximately four miles south of Atchison.

Maintenance crews from the Kansas Department of Transportation will be working on U.S. 59 over
262nd Road for approximately two weeks. Traffic on U.S. 59 will be reduced to one lane in the work zone and will be controlled by temporary traffic signals. Intermittent closures of 262nd Road may be necessary at times, but will only
occur when crews are working. Advanced signing and cones will mark the work areas.

Work will occur Monday through Friday, but the traffic signal will be in place for the duration
of the project. Motorists should plan for delays of up to 10 minutes.

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving
through a highway work zone.
