The Kansas Department of Transportation will begin work on a pair of road construction projects in Gove and Logan counties starting Tuesday.
In Gove County, crews will be completing a mill and overlay on 15 miles of K-23 starting at the south city limits in Gove and ending at the Sheridan County line. The project area will also include the K-23 alternate through Grainfield and K-23 spur.
Crews will also mill and overlay 26 miles of U.S. 40 in Logan County. Work will begin at the Wallace County line and extend east to the east K-25 junction.
Traffic will be directed through both work zones by flaggers and a pilot car operation. Delays up to 15 minutes should be anticipated.
KDOT expects the projects to be completed by the end of August, weather permitting.
The primary contractor for the Gove County project is APAC Kansas Inc. Shears Division, of Hutchison, with a total contract cost of approximately $3.5 million. Venture Corp. of Great Bend is the primary contractor for the nearly $3.8 million Logan County project.
