Nightly lane closures are scheduled as part of a pavement improvement project on northbound and southbound I-35, from 215th Street to 167th Street in Johnson County, beginning on Monday, Aug. 15, weather permitting.

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) project includes placing pavement markings on all northbound and southbound I-35 lanes, as well as entrance and exit ramps at Sunflower Road, Homestead Lane and Gardner Road.

Work will take place nightly, Monday through Saturday, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Traffic will be controlled using portable lane closures, portable message signs, arrow boards, signage and traffic cones.

Twin Traffic Marking, of Kansas City, is the contractor for the $412,000 project, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-September.

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas go to www.kandrive.gov or call 5-1-1. Drive safely and always wear your seat belt.
