(KNZA)--A resurfacing project is underway on U.S. 36 in Brown County.

The work covers about 12 miles, from the Brown/Nemaha county line to just west of Hiawatha.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic will be restricted to one lane in the work zone and will be directed by a pilot car, flaggers, signs and cones. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.

Work will occur Monday through Saturday during daylight hours.

KDOT says the expected completion is mid-July, weather permitting.

Dustrol, Inc., of Towanda, is the contractor on the $1.45 million project.
