Beginning Monday, Sept. 30, the Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a mill and overlay on about 9.5 miles of K-9 in Mitchell County.
Resurfacing on K-9 will occur from the U.S. 24/K-9 junction at Beloit and continue east to the Mitchell/Cloud county line.
During construction, flaggers and a pilot car will be used to direct one-lane of traffic through the work zone at a reduced speed. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules.
Shilling Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor for this $2.42 million project, which is scheduled for completion in mid-December, weather permitting.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas, go towww.kandrive.gov or call 5-1-1.
