(KAIR)--Delays are likely for motorists traveling in Jefferson County starting next week, as overlay and milling work begins on K-4 Highway.

According to a release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the work will include the northbound and southbound lanes, and will cover approximately 22-miles, from the K-4/U.S. 24 junction to the K-4/K-92 junction in Shawnee and Jefferson counties.

According to KDOT, work will alternate between the left and right lanes throughout the project, with traffic to be restricted to one lane in the work zone, directed by a pilot car, flaggers, signs, and cones. The release states that “drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes and add extra time in their travel schedules.”

Work will take place Monday through Saturday, beginning 30 minutes after sunrise until 30 minutes before sunset.

Hamm Inc., of Perry, is the contractor on the $2 million project, which is expected be completed by early June, if weather allows.
