(KMZA)--Overlay and milling work has begun on the northbound and southbound lanes of K-63 in Nemaha County.

The project covers about 8 miles, from junction with K-9 to the junction with U.S. 36.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic will be restricted to one lane in the work zone. Motorists 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 to their travel schedules.

Work will take place Monday through Saturday, during daytime hours.

Hall Brothers, Inc., of Marysville is the contractor on the $646,000 project. The project is expected to be completed by late-May, weather permitting.
