(KAIR) -- Eastbound and westbound K-92 lanes over the Centennial Bridge in Leavenworth will be closed to all traffic on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the state line for bridge repair work beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 14 and will reopen to unrestricted traffic at 5:00 a.m. on Monday, September 17 and then again at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 21 and will reopen to unrestricted traffic at 5:00 a.m. on Monday, September 24.

In the case of inclement weather either weekend, the full bridge closure will be rescheduled for the following weekend.

This full closure of the bridge is needed for the jacking of the bridge to replace some structural members under the bridge.

Advance message boards will alert traffic to the full bridge closure.

A marked detour will be provided during the weekend closures.

Traffic will detour via US-73/K-7 north to US-59 in Atchison then east on US-59 into Missouri to Missouri Route 45 south to Missouri Route 92 and vice versa for traffic on the Missouri side of the bridge closure.

APAC-Kansas, Inc. is the primary contractor on this bridge repair project with a total contract cost of $2.683 million.

Project work is scheduled to be completed on Monday, September 24, weather permitting.
