KDOT

Starting Monday, the Kansas Department of Transportation began a bridge removal project on Kansas 258 near Webster Reservoir in Rooks County.

The overpass bridge spanning U.S. 24 will be removed and replaced with an at-grade intersection at the U.S. 24 and K-258 junction. Traffic will be restricted to one lane and directed by flaggers at certain times during construction. Minor delays may be expected. KDOT urges all motorists to slow down, obey the warning signs and “Give ‘em a Brake!” when approaching and driving through construction zones.

KDOT awarded the construction contract, totaling nearly $1.8 million to APAC Shears of Hutchinson. Work is expected to be completed in June, weather permitting.
