( KNZA )-The start date for a highway resurfacing project in Brown County has been pushed back.
The Kansas Department of Transporation says the resurfacing of a nearly 12 mile stretch of U.S. Highway 36 from the west city limits of Hiawatha to the Nemaha/Brown County line, which had originally been set to begin this week, has been rescheduled for Thursday, May 2nd.
Beginning on May 2nd, U.S. 36 will be reduced to one lane as crews begin work at the west city limits of Hiawatha and then progress west.
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 and are encouraged to use alternate routes, if possible.
Hall Brothers of Marysville is the primary contractor on the nearly $1.7 million project, which is scheduled for completion in early July, weather permitting.
