(KMZA)--A milling and overlay project on U.S. 36 in Marshall and Nemaha counties is scheduled to begin Tuesday,  Aug. 30, weather permitting. The project will cover approximately 15 miles, from K-87 to the eastern city limits of Seneca.  

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic will be restricted to one lane in the work zone and will be directed by a pilot car, flaggers, signs, and cones. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.

Work will occur Monday through Saturday during daylight hours. The project is expected to be complete by late October. 

Hall Brothers, of Marysville, is the contractor on the $4.6 million project. 

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 road construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
