The Kansas Department of Transportation has announced plans to begin a resurfacing project on I-70 in Dickinson County on Monday, April 20.

The project will involve concrete patching, mill and overlay, striping and rumble strips on 8.5 miles of I-70 from just west of the I-70/K-15 junction at Abilene to about 2.5 miles east of the I-70/K-43 junction.

During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane at a reduced speed for about three miles within the work zone. Motorists should anticipate minimal delays, not exceeding five minutes.

Hall Brothers Inc., of Marysville, is the prime contractor for the $3.1 million project, which is scheduled to be completed by August, weather permitting.
