Those who travel on K-3 Highway between U.S. 54 and K-39 can expect delays starting next week as the Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin work on a resurfacing project on Monday.

The project starts at the west K-3/K-39 junction and continues north to U.S. 54. Project activity includes a one-inch surface recycle, followed by a chip seal. KDOT awarded the near $870,000 construction contract to Dustrol Inc. of Towanda. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one-lane traffic through the work zone; expect delays of 15 minutes or less. A 10-foot driving lane width restriction will also be in effect.

The road work should be completed in one month, weather permitting.
