The Kansas Department of Transportation will begin work to replace three K-148 bridges in Washington County on Tuesday, July 6. The bridges are located approximately 6 miles, 11 miles and 13 miles east of the Republic/Cloud county line.

During construction, local traffic will move through the work zone at a reduced speed via a temporary roadway known as a shoo-fly. Through traffic will be detoured throughout construction via U.S. 81, U.S. 36 and K-15.

King Construction Co., of Hesston, is the prime contractor for this $3 million project and has scheduled construction to be completed in the summer of 2022.

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.gov or call 5-1-1.
