The Kansas Department of Transportation expects to begin work on a pair of bridge repair projects along I-70 in Ellis County the week of April 8.

Crews will be repairing the bridges carrying westbound I-70 over K-247 at exit 145 in Ellis and U.S. 183 at exit 159 in Hays. Traffic will be reduced to one lane through the construction zones with a reduced speed limit of 60 mph. Minor delays not exceeding 5 minutes should be expected.

PCI Roads LLC is the primary contractor for both projects. Work is expected to be completed by the end of August, weather permitting.
