(KMZA)--The Kansas Department of Transportation is set to replace two bridges on K-63 in Pottawatomie County.

According to KDOT, work on the bridges over Bartlett Creek and the Union Pacific railroad tracks, located just north of Emmett, is scheduled to begin Monday, February 16, weather permitting.

Officials say the new bridges will be built next to the existing structures, so traffic impacts should be minimal during this phase. Most of the work will take place along the roadway’s shoulders.

Construction will occur during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, and on Saturdays if necessary.

Hawkins Construction Company of Omaha, Nebraska, is the prime contractor on the $12.9 million project, which is expected to be completed by June 2027.
