The Kansas Department of Transportation expects to begin resurfacing projects on two sections of U.S. 75 next week.

Project activity includes a mill and overlay from the Wilson-Woodson county line, north for 11 miles to the city limits of Yates Center and from the north K-58 junction, north for six miles to the Burlington city limits.

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 work should be finished by late October, weather permitting.

Bettis Asphalt & Construction, Inc., of Topeka, is the contractor on the projects, which have a combined construction cost of $2.2 million.
