Motorists who use U.S. 160 north of Frontenac can expect delays as the Kansas Department of Transportation expects to begin a mill and overlay project on the highway today, weather permitting.
Work will start at the north U.S. 160/U.S. 69 junction and continue east to the Kansas/Missouri state line. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one-lane traffic through the work zone during daylight hours; expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The resurfacing project should be finished in a week, weather permitting.
KDOT awarded the nearly $820,000 construction contract to Bettis Asphalt & Construction, Inc., of Topeka.
