Crews are expected to begin a mill and overlay and a chip seal project on U.S. 50 in Ford County on Monday, June 1, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. Crews will begin the mill and overlay at Spearville and continue west past the U.S. 283 junction east of Dodge City.  The chip seal crew will begin at the Ford/Edwards county line and work west to Spearville.  Traffic will be reduced to one lane guided by a pilot car in both work zones.
