(KLZA)--Plans are in place for an armor coating project to begin Monday, August 24, on U.S. Highway 73 near Falls City.

State maintenance crews will begin work at the south edge of Falls City and proceed south for about seven miles. The project is expected to take two days to complete.

Traffic will be maintained through the work zone with a pilot car and flaggers.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and use caution when traveling through highway work zones.
