WABAUNSEE COUNTY - The Kansas Department of Transportation(KDOT) has announced a resurfacing project in Wabaunsee County has been scheduled to begin on Tuesday, August 30th.
The project begins on K-99 just south of Wamego at the Wabaunsee/Pottawatomie county line and goes to the K-99/K-4 junction.
The resurfacing project does not include the portion of K-9 within Alma city limits or the ongoing K-99 realignment project.
According to KDOT, Shilling Construction Company will be completing the project and will start the Wabaunsee/Pottawatomie county line and complete work to the I-70 underpass.
Work will then move to the K-99/K-4 junction and move north until crews reach the I-70 underpass.
Drivers should allow for delays of up to 15 minutes through the area while work is completed, as traffic will be reduced to a single lane and directed by a pilot car, flaggers, signs and cones.
The project is estimated to be complete by early November, and costs $3.4 million dollars.
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 road construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
