(KMZA)--A bridge replacement project is to begin Monday on U.S. 24 Highway in Pottawatomie County over the Deep Creek drainage area about one mile east of Broadway Street in Belvue.
The project includes replacement of the existing 33-foot wide concrete deck girder bridge structure with a 44-foot wide box bridge structure, complete with 12-foot driving lanes and 10-foot shoulders.
The work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work.
Beginning Monday, crews will begin construction of a shoofly detour, complete with one 14-foot driving lane each direction, that will carry traffic around the south side of the existing bridge location while the new bridge is being constructed. Once the shoofly roadway is complete, eastbound and westbound U.S. 24 will then be shifted to the shoofly detour. There will be a 14-foot lane width restriction and a 45 mph posted speed limit through the project work zone throughout the project duration.
Traffic will be directed through the project work zone via signage, cones and barriers. Drivers should expect minor delays throughout the project duration.
Wamego-based Ebert Construction Company is the primary contractor on the nearly $627,000 project. The project is scheduled for completion in late October, weather allowing.
