On Sept. 26 the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a mill and overlay project on U.S. 77 north from the Rucker Road intersection to the Riley County line.

Traffic will be reduced to one 12’ lane during daylight hours with flaggers and a pilot car to move traffic through the work zone. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules.

Shilling Construction Co., Inc. of Manhattan is the prime contractor and have scheduled this project to be completed by the end of October, weather permitting, at a cost of $1,680,355.

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approach and driving through a highway work zone.  To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas go towww.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
