The U.S. 50 rest area in Stafford County is expected to be closed Wednesday through Friday, April 14-16, so the parking lot can be resurfaced with a mill and overlay.

The rest area is on the south side of U.S. 50 and west of the town of Stafford and east of the U.S. 50/U.S. 281 junction.

The work, overseen by the Kansas Department of Transportation, is expected to have minimal impact on U.S. 50 traffic. Traffic on Southeast 20th, on the west side of the rest area, might be controlled by flaggers at times so overlay work can be done on that road.

APAC-Kansas Inc., of Hutchinson, is the main contractor for the $67,975 project.
