Bridge replacement project begins in Brown Co
04/27/2020

(KNZA)--A bridge replacement project began Monday on U.S. 73 Highway in Brown County about a half-mile north of Killdeer Road over Walnut Creek.

The Kansas Department of Transportation says work will occur during daylight hours and is expected to be complete by February 1, 2021.

During the next 45 days, KDOT says the contractor will build a temporary gravel road next to the project. Two-way traffic will still be allowed on U.S. 73. The temporary road is expected to be complete by June 19, and traffic will be detoured on to it with a 35 miles per hour speed limit for the duration of the project.

Traffic will be controlled using speed limit signs, traffic cones and barricades.

King Construction of Hesston is the contractor on the $2.8 million project.
