According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, a pavement repair project on U.S. 56, to the I-35 ramps, is expected to begin Saturday, May 8, weather permitting.

The project, east of Moonlight Road in the City of Gardner, Johnson County, includes concrete pavement patching and asphalt overlay. The expected completion of the project is mid-July.

Work will take place during the following times:

• Saturday, 7 p.m. to Monday 6 a.m. (with exception of Sunday, May 7, when work will conclude at noon);
• Wednesday, 7 p.m. to Thursday, 6 a.m.;
• Thursday, 7 p.m. to Friday, 6 a.m..

Eastbound and westbound U.S. 56 will be reduced to one lane during hours of work. All lanes of traffic will be open when work is not being performed. The off ramp from southbound New Century Parkway to westbound U.S. 56 will also be closed: traffic will be able to access U.S. 56 using Industrial Bypass.

Traffic will be controlled using signage, arrow boards, barricades, and traffic cones.

Superior Bowen, of Olathe, is the contractor for the $1,288,763.57 project.
