Two resurfacing projects will begin June 16, weather permitting, the Kansas Department of Transportation announced.

Both of the asphalt seals begin at Levant and end at Colby. One is on Interstate 70 and the other is on U.S. 24.

U.S. 24 traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by flaggers and a pilot car during daylight hours. Minor delays should be expected during construction, not exceeding 15 minutes. I-70 traffic will be reduced to one lane with reduced speed, which will lead to minimal delay.

The Kansas Department of Transportation urges all motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs, and “Give ‘Em a Brake!” when approaching and driving through the construction zone.

KDOT awarded these construction contracts – totaling $1.1 million – to Heft & Sons L.L.C..  The project should be completed by early July, weather permitting.
