OSAGE COUNTY (KSNT) – State transportation officials say an upcoming highway project could slow traffic in Osage County this month.

Kate Craft with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) said in a press release that a mill and overlay project is planned for K-31 highway starting Tuesday, Aug. 15. The project will cover six miles of K-31 from the Osage/Wabaunsee County line to Dacotah Street in Burlingame.

Craft said the road will be reduced to one lane while work is taking place with traffic being directed by a pilot car and flaggers. Delays of up to 15 minutes should be expected.
