A mill and overlay project on I-435 from Midland Drive to the Kansas River bridge is scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 28, weather permitting.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), surface replacement work will include ramps, widenings, and shoulders. Northbound and southbound I-435 traffic will have nightly lane and ramp closures in areas where work is being performed.

Work will occur Monday through Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., and Friday through Saturday, from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. Message boards alerting motorists are in place, notifying the start of the project.

Traffic will be controlled using portable message signs, arrow boards, signage and traffic cones. The project is expected to be completed in mid-October.

Ideker, Inc. of St. Joseph, Mo., is the contractor for the $2.9 million project. 

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1. Drive safely and always wear your seat belt.
