The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has announced that a resurfacing project on U.S. Highway 50 in Harvey County is scheduled to begin around June 5, with completion expected by mid-July, weather permitting.
The project will involve applying hot-mix asphalt over a stretch of 11.7 miles, starting just north of the I-135/U.S. 50 junction and extending east to the Harvey/Marion County line.
During construction, drivers can expect intermittent delays, as traffic will be directed by flaggers and a pilot car. KDOT advises motorists to be prepared for stops and delays of up to 15 minutes in the work zone.
APAC-Kansas Inc. Shears Division, based in Hutchinson, has been contracted to complete the $2.7 million project.
KDOT encourages all drivers to remain alert, follow posted signage, and exercise caution when traveling through construction zones.
