Beginning Monday, a bridge repair project will begin along U.S. 283 north of Hill City.
Approximately 11 miles north of Hill City, the bridge located over Bow Creek will receive deck patching, girder repairs, and a silica fume overlay of the bridge deck.
Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction, controlled by temporary traffic signals. Delays should not exceed 5 minutes; but the public should plan their travels accordingly. The speed limit will be reduced through the construction zone. Please pay attention to the signs and workers within a construction zone and “Give ‘Em A Brake!”
KDOT awarded the construction contract – totaling $189,092 – to PCI Roads L.L.C. of Saint Michael, Minnesota.
The only subcontractor on the job is: Highway Signing, Inc. of Omaha, Neb., providing the traffic control.
The bridge repair job is funded by T-WORKS, the Transportation program passed by the Kansas Legislature in May of 2010; and designed to create jobs, preserve highway infrastructure, and spur economic development opportunities across the state.
Weather permitting, this construction project will be completed by late September, 2013.
