A Kansas Department of Transportation project that will replace two bridges on K-63 is scheduled to begin on Monday, Feb. 16, conditions permitting. The bridges over Bartlett Creek and the Union Pacific railroad tracks are located just north of Emmett in Pottawatomie County.
New bridges will be built next to the existing structures. Traffic impacts should be minimal to none during this phase of the project, with most work taking place along the roadway’s shoulders.
Work will occur during daylight hours Monday through Friday, and Saturdays if needed.
Hawkins Construction Co., of Omaha, Nebraska, is the prime contractor on the $12.9 million project, which is anticipated to be complete in June 20.
