Today, the Kansas Department of Transportation began a mill and overlay on Kansas Highway 15 (K-15) in Dickinson County.
Work on K-15 will be located between the north Abilene city limit and the K-15/Kansas Highway 18 intersection.
Construction will take place Monday through Friday with occasional Saturday work during daylight hours. Traffic will be reduced to one 12-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.
Shilling Construction Co. Inc., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor and has scheduled this $852,000 project to be completed by September, 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.
