Beginning Monday, April 1, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a mill and overlay on 22.3 miles of U.S. 36 and K-128 in Jewell County.
Work on U.S. 36 will begin at the west city limits of Mankato and continue west to the southbound K-128/U.S. 36 junction. Work on K-128 will begin at the southbound K-128/U.S. 36 junction and continue north to the Nebraska State Line.
Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one lane of traffic through construction. Motorists should be prepared to slow down and stop with delays of up to 15 minutes.
APAC-Kansas Inc. of Hutchinson is the prime contractor and has scheduled this $4.9 million project to be completed in mid-July, weather permitting.
