(KMZA)--U.S 77 Highway over the Union Pacific railroad tracks northwest of Marysville will be closed to traffic Tuesday for a railroad crossing repair project.

The Kansas Department of Transportation says the highway will be closed between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., weather allowing.

A marked detour will be provided. U.S. 77 traffic will detour by U.S. 36 to K-148 to Nebraska State Route 8 to access U.S. 77.

Drivers should expect minor delays during this day-long closure and must use alternate routes.
