KDOT

Starting the week of July 30, the Kansas Department of Transportation will close a portion of U.S. 24 from the K-18 junction in Graham County to the Stockton city limits for a bridge replacement project.

KDOT will be replacing a flood-damaged bridge approximately 1 3/4 miles west of the Graham/Rooks County line. Traffic will be detoured on U.S. 183 and K-18 throughout the duration of the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of November.

King Construction is the primary contractor for the project with a total contract cost of approximately $559,000.
