The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) plans on Monday, March 29th, to begin a resurfacing project on U.S. 166 in Montgomery County. The project starts at the south U.S. 75/U.S. 166 junction and continues east for 14 miles, ending at the west city limits of Coffeyville.

Project activity includes a one-inch mill and one-inch asphalt overlay. Flaggers and a pilot car operation will guide one-lane traffic through the work zone. Expect delays of 15 minutes or less.

KDOT awarded the $1.7 million construction contract to Cornejo & Sons, LLC, of Wichita. Weather permitting, the project should be completed by late April.
