According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic changes for a resurfacing project along Kansas Highway 96 from the Lane/Ness County line east to the east city limits of Ness City are anticipated to start today.
K-96 traffic will be reduced to one lane in sections as they work on the 18.32-mile-long 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. K-96 will be open to normal traffic when construction is not taking place.
Venture Corporation of Great Bend is the contractor on this $4 million project. Weather permitting, it is expected to be completed by mid-September.
For more information on this project, contact David Ubel, Area Construction Manager, at (620) 682-7938 or Yazmin Moreno, Southwest Public Information Officer at (620) 765-7080.
