(KNZA)--A pavement marking replacement project is set to begin Friday, May 7 on U.S. 36 Highway,  weather permitting.

The Kansas Department of Transportation says the work will start at the Nemaha/Brown county line, go east through Brown County, and end just east of the Doniphan/Brown county line, covering about 25 miles.

KDOT says work zones will stretch up to three miles at a time. Traffic will be restricted to one lane and will be directed by a pilot car, flaggers, signs and cones. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes and add extra time in their travel schedules.

Work will take place Monday through Saturday during daytime hours and is expected to be completed by mid-May.

Wisconsin-based Century Fence  is the contractor on the $371,000 project.
