A pavement project has begun on eastbound and westbound K-32 from Kaw Drive to 55th Street in Wyandotte County.
Eastbound and westbound traffic on K-32 has been reduced to a single lane. Work will take place from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and possibly Saturdays, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.
The project includes concrete pavement patching, pavement smoothness grinding, pavement joint sealing and pavement marking on all lanes and shoulders.
Traffic is being controlled using barricades, portable message signs, arrow boards and traffic cones. Message boards alerting motorists are in place.
Miles Excavating of Basehor is the contractor for the $932,000 project, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-December.
A KDOT spokesman urged all motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. Motorists should drive safely and wear their seat belts, the spokesman stated. To stay aware of road construction projects across Kansas, visit www.kandrive.org or call 511.
