U.S.36 Repair Project to Resume

By Greg Bebermeyer

04/01/2013

( KNZA )--On Monday ( April 1st ), a concrete pavement repair project will resume on a nearly 15-mile stretch of U.S. 36 in Brown and Doniphan Counties.

The work will take place from just west of Ash Point Road in Brown County to east of East Locust Street at Troy.

The project began in late October and was suspended for the winter season. The project includes full and partial depth patching of the existing concrete pavement.

The Kansas Department of Transportation says work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work. The work will be coordinated so that all lanes will be opened to traffic by a half hour before sunset.

The project had originally been scheduled to resume this past Monday, but was postponed a week due to the weather.

Beginning on Monday, crews will move in equipment and set-up traffic control in preparation for resuming the project. Then on Tuesday, eastbound and westbound U.S. 36 traffic will be reduced to one lane for both directions. In addition, there will be intermittent closures of adjacent cross roads during the project. Traffic will be directed through the project work zone via a pilot car and flagger operation. Drivers should expect delays of up to 15 minutes maximum and are encouraged to use alternate routes, if possible

Kansas Heavy Construction, LLC of Shawnee is the primary contractor on the nearly $647,000 project.
