MANHATTAN - The Kansas Department of Transportation has announced they will begin improvements at the intersection of US 24 and K-13 in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The project will reduce traffic to one lane in each direction on US-24, while crews work to add offset turn lanes on US 24 at K-13.
During construction, traffic cones and signage will be posted in the work zone.
Oversized loads are not permitted through the area during the project, as the lanes will be reduced to 14 feet width limit and 71 feet length limit.
Work will take place Monday through Friday during daytime hours and is expected to be complete by late November.
Bayer Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the contractor on the $750,000 project.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone.
