Posted Aug 12, 2025 4:41 PM

Beginning Monday, Aug. 18, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) plans to begin a resurfacing project on about 10.5 miles of K-82.

The project is a mill and overlay from the K-15/K-82 junction to the K-82/U.S. 77 junction in Clay, Geary and Riley counties.

During daylight hours, flaggers and a pilot car will guide one lane of traffic through construction at a reduced speed. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules.

Shilling Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor for this $2.4 million project and has scheduled all work to be completed in October, conditions permitting.
