The Kansas Department of Transportation began a pavement marking project on I-70 in Dickinson County on Monday.
Work begins at the Dickinson/Geary County line and continues west to the Saline/Dickinson County line.
During daylight hours, traffic will be reduced to one 14-foot lane at a reduced speed where removal and striping operations are being performed. Drivers should expect minor delays, not exceeding five minutes.
Innovative Marking Systems Inc. of Bluffdale, Utah, is the prime contractor for this project, at a cost of $948,826. The contractor has scheduled this project to be completed in July, weather permitting.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a work zone.
