The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a resurfacing project on I-70 in Dickinson County on Monday, March 30.
KDOT said that the project will involve concrete patching, mill and overlay, striping and rumble strips. Work will take place on I-70 from just west of the I-70/K-15 junction at Abilene, extending east approximately 8.5 miles, to about 2.5 miles east of the I-70/K-43 junction.
During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane at a reduced speed for about three miles within the work zone. Motorists should anticipate delays of no more than five minutes.
APAC-Kansas Inc. Shears Division, of Hutchinson, is the prime contractor for the $11 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in late September, weather permitting.
