The Kansas Department of Transportation expects to begin a surface recycle/chip seal project on 23 miles of U.S. 59 in Allen and Anderson counties today. The road work starts at the U.S. 54/U.S. 59 junction and continues north and west to the south junction of U.S. 169/U.S. 59.
The highway will receive a 1′ 1/2″ surface recycle, to be followed by a chip seal this summer. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one-lane traffic through the work zone during daylight hours, expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The road work should be completed in one month, weather permitting.
