OBERLIN — As early as next week, a project to repair four bridges north of Oberlin on U.S. 83 is scheduled to start, the Kansas Department of Transportation announced in a news release. 

The repairs consist of removing a layer of concrete, deck patching, and placement of a concrete overlay.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by stoplights. Minor delays should be expected, not exceeding 15 minutes.

The Kansas Department of Transportation urges all motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs, and “Give ‘Em a Brake!” when approaching and driving through the construction zone.

KDOT awarded this construction contract – totaling $1.1 million – to Wildcat Construction Co. The project should be completed early November, weather permitting.
