(MSC News)--Asphalt repair work will take place from Tuesday, July 16, to Thursday, July 18, on U.S. 36 from the west edge of Seneca west 11 miles to the K-87 junction, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by a pilot car through the project from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The work will take place on two-mile stretches of highway at a time. Motorists should expect delays of up to 10 minutes and are encouraged to add extra time to their travel schedule.

The project in Nemaha and Marshall counties is necessary to mill hot spots and smooth the roadway surface. Please use extra caution in the work zone area.
