10/27/2021

Editor's note: Due to weather, KDOT has changed the start date for the work to Monday. 

(KMZA)--A milling project that will impact what state transportation officials call “multiple locations in the region” is set to begin Monday, November 1, with local area roadways to be affected and drivers to face delays.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, the first phase of work, beginning if weather allows, will take place in Marshall County. That includes U.S. Highway 36, from the U.S. 36/K-87 junction east to the county line; K-9, from the K-9/K-87 junction east to the county line; K-99, from the northern city limit of Frankfort, to the K-9/K-99 junction; and from the K-9/K-99 junction north to the U.S 36/K-99 junction.

A release from KDOT states that work will take place at each location from approximately 7:30 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. Work in each area is expected to be completed in one day.

Delays of up to 15 minutes are expected in the work zones, with traffic to be restricted to one lane, and directed by flaggers, signs, and cones. A pilot car may be necessary in some of the impacted locations.
