A bridge repair project on the Pottawatomie/Wabaunsee county line is scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 28, conditions permitting. The Schoeman Road/Paxico Road bridge spans the Kansas River and is located approximately 1.5 miles southeast of Belvue.

A.M. Cohron & Sons, Inc., of Atlantic, Iowa, is the $11.2 million project’s prime contractor. The Kansas Department of Transportation will oversee the project.
