OBERLIN — Work is expected to resume in early April on a group of bridge repair projects north of Oberlin on U.S. 83. The repair projects, which began in July, consist of concrete removal, deck patching and placement of a new concrete overlay on four bridges located between the U.S. 83/36 junction and the Nebraska state line.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by stoplights at each construction site. Minor delays, not exceeding 15 minutes, should be expected. 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 zones. Work is expected to be completed in early June, weather permitting.

Wildcat Construction Co. is the primary contractor for the project with a total contract cost of $1.1 million.
