(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Transportation is requesting motorists in Effingham do not park on the south side of Main Street on Wednesday, August 12 and the north side of Main Street on Thursday, August 13 as crews resurface the lanes on U.S. 159.

KDOT says the paving is part of the resurfacing project currently underway on U.S. 159 north of Nortonville to Effingham in Atchison County.

Crews will begin paving the southbound lane and then move to the northbound lane.

Drivers should expect delays and add extra travel time to their commute.
