Motorists who routinely use K-7 in Crawford County will need to give themselves extra time as the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a resurfacing project the week of June 7th.
The project area starts at the U.S. 400 junction and continues north for 11 miles, ending at the south city limits of Girard. Project activity includes a shoulder chip seal and micro-surfacing on the driving lanes. Flaggers and a pilot car will guide one-lane traffic through the work zone; expect delays of 15 minutes or less on days when the project is active.
KDOT awarded the construction contract of just over $792,000 to Vance Brothers, Inc., of Kansas City, Mo. Weather permitting, the project should be finished by late June.
