Work will start soon on a $7.86 million resurfacing project on K-14 and K-96 in Reno County and K-96 in Sedgwick County.
The Kansas Department of Transportation project involves a hot-mix-asphalt overlay and shoulder widening. Work is expected to begin around Aug. 2 and be completed around the end of October, depending on the weather.
The Reno County portion will be on northbound and southbound lanes of K-14 from the U.S. 50/K-14/K-96 junction at South Hutchinson south to the K-96 junction – a length of about 2.5 miles.
The Reno County part also will be on westbound K-96 from the K-14 junction east to the Reno/Sedgwick county line – a length of almost 15 miles.
The Sedgwick County portion will be on eastbound K-96 from the Sedgwick/Reno county line east to about Maize Road, a length of about 15 miles.
During the work, traffic will be restricted to one lane, and motorists should expect to slow down for the work zone.
Cornejo & Sons, of Wichita, is the primary contractor for the $7,862,279 project.
