The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a project to mill and overlay a seven-mile section of U.S. 75 in Montgomery County on Monday, April 6.

The project starts at the north city limits of Independence and continues north to the east U.S. 75/U.S. 400 junction. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one-lane traffic through the work zone. Expect delays of 15 minutes or less during daylight hours. The road work should be finished in one month, weather permitting.

The cost of construction is $1.4 million.
