Beginning around July 22, two bridge repairs will begin along K-18 in Rooks County.
The first bridge is located two miles west of the Osborne County line; and the second bridge location is three miles west of the Osborne County line.

The scope includes repairs to both bridge decks, followed by a silica fume overlay of the driving surfaces.
Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction on both projects, 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 both construction zones. Please pay attention to the signs and workers within any road construction zone and “Give ‘Em A Brake!”

KDOT awarded the construction contract – totaling $351, 520 – to PCI Roads L.L.C. of Saint Michael, Minnesota.
The subcontractors are: Highway Signing, Inc. of Omaha, Neb., providing the traffic control; Bettis Asphalt & Construction, Inc., Topeka, Bridge Deck Milling.
The bridge repairs are 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 October, 2013.
