The Kansas Department of Transportation is starting resurfacing projects on U.S. 160 and K-101.

Project activity consists of pavement patching and a mill and overlay. Work will first take place on the entire route of K-101 between U.S. 166 and U.S. 160, including the city of Edna. The contractor will then move to U.S. 160 and begin resurfacing from U.S. 169 east to U.S. 59, including the city of Altamont. Flaggers and a pilot car operation will direct one-lane traffic through the work zone during daylight hours. Drivers can expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The road work should be finished by mid-August, weather permitting. KDOT awarded the construction contracts totaling $3.6 million to Bettis Asphalt & Construction Inc., of Topeka.
