(KAIR)--A major travel route is set to close in Atchison, meaning motorists will need to use an alternate route during the repair work.

According to a release issued by the City of Atchison, the 14th Street viaduct will close Tuesday, and remain closed for one week.

The release says repairs will be made, and the closure is necessary to allow the concrete to cure.

However, access for MGPI truck traffic, and railroad activity, will remain open.
