A milling and overlay project on U.S. 75 in Osage County is scheduled to begin Tuesday, July 5, weather permitting. The project will cover approximately 3 miles, from K-68, through Lyndon, to the south end of the K-31 roundabout.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic will be restricted to one lane in the work zone and will be directed by a pilot car, flaggers, signs, and cones. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.

Work will occur Monday through Friday during daylight hours. The project is expected to be complete by mid-August. Killough Construction, Inc., of Ottawa, is the contractor on the $1.4 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.
