(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Transportation has started work on a bridge replacement project on K-7 Highway in Doniphan County. The Mill Creek bridge is is located about 3.5 miles south of White Cloud.

Denmark Road has been closed at K-7 and is expected to reopen by late September. Other traffic impacts should be minimal through the end of this year, with most project activity taking place along the roadway's shoulder.

Work will occur Monday through Friday during daylight hours and is expected to be complete by August 2025, conditions permitting.

A.M. Cohron & Son, Inc., of Atlantic, Iowa, is the contractor on the $3.6 million project.

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 highway construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
