Resurfacing on K-148 in Republic and Jewell counties begins Tuesday

On Tuesday, the Kansas Department of Transportation began a chip seal on approximately 22 miles of K-148.

Work on K-148 began at the K-148/K-28 junction and will continue east to the K-148/U.S. 81 junction.

Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one lane of traffic through the construction zone. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules.

Circle C Paving and Construction LLC of Goddard is the prime contractor and has scheduled this $612,649 project to be completed in September, weather permitting.
