K-128 and K-228 resurfacing to begin April 14

JEWELL AND MITCHELL COUNTIES – Beginning on Monday, April 14, the Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin resurfacing K-128 and K-228 in Jewell and Mitchell counties.

Project work will consist of a surface recycle and chip seal on 19.4 miles of K-128 and K-228 in Jewell and Mitchell counties. Work on K-128 will occur from the U.S. 24/K-128 junction and continue north to the K-128/U.S. 36 in Mitchell and Jewell counties. Work on K-228 will occur from the K-228/K-128 junction and continue east to the end of the route (Ionia) in Jewell County. (See attached map.)

During construction, flaggers and a pilot car will be used to guide one lane of traffic through construction at a reduced speed. Drivers should be prepared for a delay of up to 15 minutes and plan extra time in their travel schedules.

Dustrol Inc., of Towanda, is the prime contractor for this $2.23 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in June, weather permitting.
