(KNZA)--A Kansas Department of Transportation bridge repair project began Thursday on U.S. 36 in Brown County. The bridge is located about one-half mile west of the U.S. 36/U.S. 73 junction.

The work zone will be reduced to one lane, and traffic crossing the bridge will be guided by temporary traffic signals. Drivers should plan for delays of up to 10 minutes. U.S. 36 will also have a 12-foot width restriction in the work zone for the concrete mill and overlay project.

Work will take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours.

KDOT says PCI Roads, of St. Michael, Minnesota, is the prime contractor on the $334,000 project. The work is expected to be complete by the end of May.
