(KLZA)--The Nebraska Department of Transportation says curb ramp construction will begin April 15, in Syracuse, Tecumseh, Pawnee City, Burchard, Brock, Falls City, and Humboldt.

Van Kirk Sand & Gravel, Inc., of Sutton, Nebraska, has the $321,000 contract.  Work will include curb ramp construction, paving, grading and seeding.

Sidewalks will be closed and pedestrian traffic will be detoured.  Traffic will be maintained with lane closures, and flaggers may be used during the pavement construction.  Anticipated completion is October 2019.

Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously through work zones, along detours and to expect delays.
