(KAIR)--It’s been back and forth with the open status of Atchison’s 6th Street Viaduct.
Citing a release from the City of Atchison, we reported yesterday that the viaduct would remain closed through the week. However, that has now changed, with an updated release from the City saying that while the major traffic route was again reopened, “it will need to be closed as the finishing touches on the repairs are made” when the contractor returns.
A timeline for that future closure is not immediately stated.
The repair work is made necessary due to damage caused to the viaduct in August when a construction company’s excavator, transported on a trailer, damaged several of the viaduct’s beams as it passed beneath, eastbound on Main Street, due to a lack of clearance.
