Heft and Sons, L.L.C. of Greensburg will begin a road construction project after the Labor Day weekend at the Cedar Bluff State Park and Reservoir, reports the Area Three Office of the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Beginning September 8, a seal will be placed on most of the roads and parking lots within the park. The resurfacing project fills surface defects that can shorten pavement life. Workers will spread a thin layer of asphalt over the pavement then coat it with a layer of rock chips that is pressed into place with heavy rollers. The process is an economical method to preserve and extend the life of the roadway.

The parking lots may be closed for up to an hour while they are being sealed. Park visitors could experience a short delay due to the seal operation, or may have to seek alternate roads within the park.

The seal operation should be complete by September 11, weather permitting. The estimated cost is $136,620.

As always, KDOT ask the public to exercise caution while driving through this and other work zones on Kansas highways. Please slow down, pay attention to the workers and signs within a construction zone.
