The Kansas Department of Transportation has begun resurfacing on U.S. 36 in Republic and Washington counties.

Work will involve a chip seal on U.S. 36 from the east city limits of Belleville in Republic County, continuing east approximately 18 miles, to K-22 in Washington County and one mile of K-139 from U.S. 36 to Cuba. 

During construction, 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.

Vance Brothers Inc. and Subsidiary, of Kansas City, Missouri, is the prime contractor for the $864,000 project, which is scheduled to be completed in July, weather permitting.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones. For current road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 5-1-1. Updates on highway projects in north central Kansas, are available at NewsReleases/District2- north central Kansas.
