(KAIR)--An Atchison County road, planned to close due to a bridge replacement project, will remain open, pending further examination.

The matter was recently addressed by the Atchison County Commission, which has received a number of citizen concerns regarding the closure of Sherman Road.

The initial plan was to close Sherman Road, from Riverfront Road to Sheridan Road, to allow for the work on the bridge structure, located at the intersection of Sherman Road and 266th Road.

The closure could last between 4 and 6 months.

County Road and Bridge Superintendent, Seth Howard, tells MSC News, the project is now on hold in order to allow a reevaluation of the road closure.

He says anyone with questions should call his department at (913) 804-6120.
