Tuesday, April 8, the Kansas Department of Transportation expects to start a 25.6-mile resurfacing project on K-3 and K-7 highways in Bourbon and Crawford counties. The work begins on K-3 at the K-39 junction and continues south to K-47. The contractor will then move to K-7, working from the south city limits of Girard south to U.S. 400.

Project activity includes a mill and overlay. Flaggers and a pilot car operation will guide one-lane traffic through the work zone during daylight hours. Expect delays of 15 minutes or less. The resurfacing work should be finished by mid-June, weather permitting.

APAC-Kansas Inc. Shears Division, of Hutchinson, is the primary contractor for the $5.5 million road work.
