(MSC News)--A Kansas Department of Transportation pavement improvement project began Monday on U.S. 92 (K-16), from Oskaloosa to McLouth in Jefferson County.
The project includes milling and overlay on all lanes of eastbound and westbound U.S. 92 (K-16), from U.S. 59/U.S. 92/K-16/Walnut Street south of Oskaloosa to U.S. 92/K-16/Union Street in McLouth.
For the duration of the project, while work is taking place, flaggers and a pilot car operation will carry single lane traffic through the work zone. Motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes in the project area.
Message boards have been placed in the area to alert motorists of the upcoming project.
Work is scheduled Monday through Wednesday, during daylight hours. Traffic will be controlled using lane closures, message signs, arrow boards, traffic cones and a pilot car operation.
Bettis Asphalt and Construction, of Topeka, is the contractor for the $1.9 million project, which is expected to be completed in mid-July.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone.
