K-156 project east of Jetmore resumes

            Work has resumed on a resurfacing project on K-156 east of Jetmore. The project runs from about ½ mile east of the K-156/US-283 junction to Hanston, a distance of just over 10 miles. This second phase of the project is a chip seal to protect the roadway. Work should be completed by Friday, August 10, barring any weather delays.             Traffic through the work zone will be reduced to one lane, guided by a pilot car. Drivers can expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The Kansas DOT urges drivers to be alert, pay attention to all work zone warning signs, slow down when approaching a work zone and be prepared to stop. Dustrol, Inc., of Towanda, Kansas, is the primary contractor on this T-WORKS preservation project at a cost of approximately 666-thousand dollars. APAC-Kansas is the subcontractor for this phase.
