(KMZA)--Guardrail work on U.S. 36 in Marshall County is to begin Monday, Oct. 5.

The Kansas Department of Transportation says the work will start west of Marysville where the four-lane highway becomes two-lane, and continue to the K-87 intersection, excluding Fourth Street to 20th Street in Marysville.

Ten different sites along U.S. 36 will have guardrail repair, or replacement and/or grading and rock added.

KDOT says traffic will be minimally impacted with most of the work being completed on the shoulder or outside shoulder of the road. However, a few areas may require a flagging and pilot car operation to control two-way traffic while utilizing only one lane. Traffic cones and signage will also be used. Drivers could see delays of up to 15 minutes. 

J & J Contractors, Inc. of Iola is the contractor on the $680,000 project. The project is expected to be completed by the end of November, weather allowing.
