(KNZA)--A Kansas Department of Transportation chip seal project is scheduled to begin next week on sections of U.S. 73 and U.S. 36 Highways in Brown and Doniphan Counties.
On Monday, June 3, KDOT says crews will begin work on U.S. 73 through the city limits of Hiawatha. Lane reductions will be in place through the 1-mile corridor. This portion is expected to be complete by mid-week, conditions permitting.
On Tuesday, June 4, work will begin on U.S. 36. This portion extends from Hiawatha to just east of Troy, and through the city limits of Wathena. Crews will begin at the west end of the project and progress eastward. KDOT says work will be done in smaller sections with a pilot car and flaggers directing traffic through the active area. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes. This portion is expected to be complete in July, conditions permitting.
Intermittent ramp closures will also occur in the project areas as needed. Message boards will be in place to alert and direct motorists.
Work will take place during daylight hours Monday through Friday, and Saturdays as needed.
Vance Brothers Inc. of Kansas City, Mo., is the prime contractor on the $1.8 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.gov or call 5-1-1.
