(KAIR)--A Doniphan County bridge repair project means a change of travel for motorists.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, the eastbound ramp, from Roseport Road to U.S. Highway 36, in Elwood, will close to traffic Tuesday.

Motorists in Elwood wanting to drive east on U.S. 36 should use the K-238/U.S. 36 junction.

There will also be a lane closure in the eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. 36, along with a speed limit reduction to 35 mph, during the duration of the project, which is expected to be completed in November.

The closure is necessary as part of a bridge repair project on the two bridges over Roseport Road.
