(KMZA)--The Kansas Department of Transportation says a mill and overlay project on a more than 14-mile stretch of  U.S. 36 Highway in Nemaha County is expected to begin Thursday, October 24, weather permitting.

The project is scheduled to take place from the east city limits of Seneca to just west of the Nemaha/Brown County line.

KDOT, in a news release, said work on the project will occur during daylight hours with possible Saturday work. One-lane traffic will be controlled by flaggers and a pilot car.

The release says motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes and add extra time to their travel schedules.

Hall Brothers, Inc. of Marysville is the contractor on the $2.1 million project.

The project is scheduled for completion in late November, weather permitting.
