The Kansas Department of Transportation expects a chip seal project on K-27, from Syracuse to the K-27/U.S. 160 junction in Stanton County, to begin by Tuesday, June 14. A chip seal is a resurfacing action that protects the pavement from moisture and prolongs the life of the roadway. During construction, traffic will be limited to one lane through the work zone, guided by a pilot car. Drivers can expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The Kansas DOT urges drivers to be alert, pay attention to all work zone warning signs, slow down when approaching a work zone and be prepared to stop. Mid America Road Builders, Inc., of Platte, Missouri is the contractor on this 730-thousand dollar project. KDOT expects work on this project to be completed by the end of June, depending on weather. If you have questions on this project, you can call Larry Meyer, Construction Manager, at 620-384-7821 or Kirk Hutchinson, KDOT Southwest Public Affairs Manager, at 1-877-550-5368 (toll free).
