The Kansas Department of Transportation has started a resurfacing project along U.S. 283 from the U.S.54/283 junction north to the U.S. 56/283 junction in Ford/Clark counties.

U.S. 283 will be reduced to one lane in smaller sections as work takes place on the 18.83-mile project area. Motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes as flaggers and a pilot car direct one-lane traffic through the work zone. The lane reduction will be marked by signs and cones. U.S. 283 will be open to normal traffic when construction is not taking place.

APAC-Kansas Inc. Shears Division, of Hutchinson, is the contractor on this $3.4 million project, which is expected to be completed by the beginning of December, weather permitting.

For more information on this project, contact David Ubel, area construction manager, at 620-682-7938, or Yazmin Moreno, public information officer, at 620-765-7080.
