Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 15, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a project to install a new culvert pipe under K-15, about 5 miles west of Wakefield in Clay County.

During construction, the shoulder will be closed for project work. Motorists should expect minimal traffic impacts.

Wildcat Construction Co. Inc., of Wichita is the prime contractor for this $562,882 project and has scheduled work to be completed in mid-September, weather permitting.
