The Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a mill and overlay project on K-177 in Riley County on Monday, Oct. 6. The project spans approximately 8 miles, from just south of I-70 to K-18 near Manhattan.
The southbound outside lane will be done first, starting at K-18 and progressing south to I-70. Crews will then shift to the northbound outside lane and work back to K-18. The inside lanes will then be done in the same order.
A lane closure will be in place where crews are actively working. The speed limit will also be reduced to 55 mph.
Work will occur Monday through Friday during daylight hours and is expected to be complete in early December.
All project work and traffic changes are conditions permitting.
Shilling Construction Inc., of Manhattan, is the $5.9 million project’s prime contractor.
