The Kansas Department of Transportation will start a resurfacing project on U.S. 400 between Fredonia and Neodesha today.

The 10-mile project in Wilson County extends southeast from K-47 at Fredonia to U.S. 75 at Neodesha. Project activity includes placing ultra-thin asphalt surfacing on the mainline and chip sealing the shoulders. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one-lane traffic through the work zone during daylight hours. Drivers can expect delays of 15 minutes or less. Weather permitting, the work should be finished by early October. KDOT awarded the $1.6 million construction contract to Pearson Construction LLC of Wichita.
