Patching work for the annual county resurfacing program is scheduled to begin on Fabyan Parkway between Bent Tree Drive and Western Avenue the week of Aug. 20, 2018, weather permitting.

The work will occur using temporary daily lane closures and flaggers directing traffic between the hours of 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The roadwork will consist of milling and resurfacing about 500 feet of both outside lanes of Fabyan Parkway for eastbound and westbound drivers. The work is anticipated to take about one week to complete. Listed below are the portions of Fabyan Parkway that will receive the patching.

While the above-mentioned road will remain open during construction, motorists should expect very long delays while traveling through the work areas and should add additional time to their commutes.

Drivers are asked to reduce their speed, watch for construction workers and vehicles entering or leaving the site, obey flaggers and comply with traffic control devices within the work zone. You may want to avoid this area and/or consider the use of alternate routes while this work is being completed

KDOT reminders drivers that it is illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving through a highway construction work zone.
