(KAIR)--A heavily traveled route in the City of Atchison is again closed, as the 6th Street viaduct undergoes additional repair work.
That follows, in recent weeks, occasional closures of the structure for repairs, following damage it incurred this past summer.
According to a release from the City, the viaduct is closed due to the contractor, late this week, putting "the finishing touches on the deck repairs,” with the City explaining that “a special carbon wrap will be placed over the patch areas for additional support.”
As of Thursday, prior to the arrival of rainfall, the city said motorists “can expect the viaduct to be closed for a few days,” adding that they, the City, “will provide an update once the engineer clears [the City] to re-open the viaduct.”
The damage to the structure occurred in August when a construction company’s excavator, transported on a trailer, damaged several of the viaduct’s beams as it passed beneath, eastbound on Main Street, due to a lack of clearance.
