Resurfacing on K-9 in Mitchell County began Sept. 30

Monday the Kansas Department of Transportation began a mill and overlay project on about 9.5 miles of K-9 in Mitchell County.

Resurfacing on K-9 will occur from the U.S. 24/K-9 junction at Beloit and continue east to the Mitchell-Cloud county line.

During construction, flaggers and a pilot car will be used to direct one-lane of traffic through the work zone at a reduced speed. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules. 

Shilling Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor for this $2.42 million project, which is scheduled for completion in mid-December, weather permitting.
