A resurfacing project will begin Monday on a 14-mile section of US-36 in Nemaha and Marshall Counties.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says the project will take place from the K-87 junction in Marshall County to just west of 11th Street in Seneca.
The project work includes a 2-inch surface recycle, ultra thin bonded asphalt overlay, and a conventional seal on shoulders, followed by all new pavement markings.
The project will smooth the road and fill surface defects that can shorten pavement life.
Work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work.
Beginning on Monday at 7 a.m., eastbound and westbound US-36 traffic will be reduced to one lane for both directions along with intermittent closures of adjacent cross roads during the project work hours for resurfacing work.
Traffic will be directed through the project work zone via a pilot car and flagger operation. There will be a posted speed limit of 45 mph and a10-foot lane width restriction through the project work zone during working hours.
Drivers should expect delays of up to 15 minutes maximum and are encouraged to use alternate routes, if possible
Shilling Construction Company of Manhattan is the primary contractor on the $3 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in late September.
