(KNZA)--A resurfacing project is set to begin Wednesday, August 30, on K-16 Highway in Jefferson County.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says the surface recycle and chip seal project covers about 16 miles, from the Jackson County line to the southern K-4 junction, and from the northern K-4 junction to U.S. 59. The City of Valley Falls is included in the project but will only be chip sealed.
KDOT says the contractor will begin at the western city limits of Valley Falls and work west to the county line. Once complete, they will move to the north K-4 junction and work east to U.S. 59. Work will be done in smaller sections to reduce impact to motorists.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in the active work zone and directed by a pilot car and flaggers. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.
Work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and expected to be complete by early October, conditions permitting.
Dustrol Inc., of Towanda, is the prime contractor on the $2.4 million project.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of highway construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
