(KLZA) -- The Nebraska Department of Roads has announced that work is scheduled to begin on US-136 through Auburn beginning Monday, March 31.

The 1.4-mile highway improvement project is located from County Road 638 Avenue on the west side of Auburn to ‘F’ Street in Auburn.

Hawkins Construction Company of Omaha, Nebraska, has the $5,070,697 project for grading, concrete paving, culverts, waterline, electrical work and seeding.

This project is divided into four phases. Phase 1 is located between ‘K’ and ‘H’ Streets on US-136 and includes the US-75/US-136 intersection. US-136 and US-75 traffic will be detoured via N-4, US-73, N-67 and N-105. Phase 1 is scheduled to be completed by the first part of May. US-75 may be opened to north and south traffic earlier, once that section of concrete paving has been completed.

Phases 2 and 3 will be constructed concurrently, including areas from ‘F’ to ‘H’ Streets and from ‘K’ Street to Irvin Drive. These phases will be constructed under 1 lane – 1 way traffic. Phase 4, the final phase, is located from Irvin Drive to just west of 638 Avenue, by the Auburn Cemetery. Two lane – 2 way traffic will be maintained for the duration of Phase 4.

Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously through construction zones and selected detour routes at all times. The narrowed roadways, volume of equipment, workers and flaggers in these areas will require motorists to be alert.

The highway improvement project is scheduled to be completed in the 2014 construction year. The Department of Roads’ manager for this project is Mike Habegger of Tecumseh.
