Resurfacing on K-28 in Cloud and Jewell counties begins Monday

Beginning Monday, August 12, the Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a chip seal on K-28 in Cloud and Jewell counties.

Work on K-28 in Cloud County will occur from the Jewell/Cloud County line and continue east about 15 miles to the K-9/K-28 junction. Work on K-28 in Jewell County will occur from the K-28/K-148 junction and continue east about 8 miles to the Jewell/Cloud County line.
