(KNZA)--A bridge replacement project began Monday in Doniphan County on 195th Road about two miles east of Troy.

Doniphan County Road and Bridge Office Manager Lindsay Norris said 195th road will be closed to thru traffic from Troy's east city limits to Oxide Road during construction, with only local residents having access.

B & B Bridge Company, of St. Paul, Kansas, is the contractor on the nearly $820,000 project.

Funding for the project is through the Kansas Department of Transportation's Off System Bridge Program.
