APAC Kansas of Hays will start a pair of resurfacing projects in Cheyenne County on May 19.

The first project will be Kansas 161, which spans 17 miles from U.S. 36 to the state line. That project will be followed by a mile-long section of U.S 36 from the west junction of Kansas 27 to the west city limits of St. Francis.

On each project the roadway will be milled and overlayed with new asphalt. Both projects are scheduled to be complete by the middle of June at a contract cost of $1.5 million.
