(KAIR)--It's the season of repair work, with a number of projects getting underway in the City of Atchison.
The City, in a release, outlines the various projects, including U.S. Highway 73 repairs. According to the release, traffic controls devices are put in place for the work set to have started Monday.
The release explains that "the work will replace and repair sections of damaged concrete in the southbound lanes of US 73 in the section between Patriot Street and Green Street," with both northbound and southbound traffic to utilize the northbound lanes.
Railroad Maintenance work is also forthcoming, with the release saying that the City of Atchison was notified last week "that Union Pacific will be conducting maintenance at the intersections of their tracks" at 4th and 10th Streets, as well as Service Road, commonly referred to as Omaha Junction, which connects US-59 to US-73 North and Woodlawn Avenue.
According to the release, the railroad maintenance means 4th Street will be closed Wednesday and Thursday; 10th Street will be closed Friday and Saturday; and Service Road/Omaha Junction will be closed Sunday and Monday.
The City, in the release, points out that the 10th Street closure, of Friday and Saturday, will conflict with the truck detour route for the resurfacing project underway on U.S. Highway 59. On those days, the City says, the 59 contractor will accommodate truck traffic at the intersection of 10th & US-59 so that trucks will be allowed to turn north or south at the intersection instead of being routed to the 14th Street viaduct, at Main Street. The detour signage will be temporarily covered on those affected days.
