Starting Monday, weather permitting, the Kansas Department of Transportation expects to begin work on a bridge replacement project along K-9 in Phillips County.

Crews will be replacing the bridge over the North Fork Solomon River Drainage located approximately 2 miles east of Glade. Traffic will be detoured using U.S. 36, U.S. 183 and U.S. 281 for the duration of the project, which is expected to be completed by mid-October.

KDOT awarded the construction contract, totaling $240,000 to Reece Construction of Scandia. The project is funded by T-WORKS, the transportation program passed by the Kansas legislature in May 2010.
