KDOT

Starting this week, the Kansas Department of Transportation will close a portion of K-25 near Russell Springs.

The closure is necessary for a bridge reconstruction project approximately half a mile south of Russell Springs. Traffic will be detoured using U.S. 40, U.S. 83 and K-96 throughout the duration of the project, which is expected to be completed by mid-October.

KDOT awarded the $1.6 million contract to L&M Contractors of Great Bend.
