LINCOLN COUNTY -- Beginning Monday, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a surface recycle and chip seal on Kansas Highway 18 (K-18) and Kansas Highway 252 (K-252) in Lincoln County.
Work on K-18 will occur between the east city limits of Lincoln and the Lincoln/Ottawa County line.
Work on K-252 will begin at K-18 and continue south to the city of Beverly.
Construction will occur during daylight hours and traffic will be reduced to one 11-foot lane following a pilot car through the work zone. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules.
The prime contractor for this $1.2 million project is Dustrol Inc. of Towanda. The contractor has scheduled this project to be completed by August, weather permitting.
KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a work zone. For more information and to stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
