Beginning Monday, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin resurfacing the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 135 in Saline County.
Work on I-135 will begin at the McPherson/Saline County line and continue north about 19.3 miles to the Interstate 70/I-135 junction.
Traffic on I-135 will be reduced to one 16-foot lane at a reduced speed through the work zone. Drivers should expect minimal delays, not exceeding five minutes.
APAC-Kansas Inc. Shears Division of Hutchinson is the prime contractor and has scheduled this $17 million project to be completed by 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 to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
