Resurfacing to Begin Monday on US Highway 36 and K-128 in Jewell County

Beginning Monday, April 1st, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a mill and overlay on 22.3 miles of US Highway 36 and K-128 in Jewell County.

Work on US Highway 36 will begin at the west city limits of Mankato and continue west to the southbound K-128/US Highway 36 junction.  Work on K-128 will begin at the southbound K-128/US Highway 36 junction and continue north to the Nebraska State Line.

Flaggers and a pilot car will direct one lane of traffic through construction.  Motorists should be prepared to slow down and stop with delays of up to 15 minutes.

APAC-Kansas Inc. of Hutchinson is the prime contractor and has scheduled this $4.9 million project to be completed in mid-July, weather permitting.
