(KMZA)--Work has begun on a bridge replacement project on K-63 Highway in Nemaha County about two miles north of U.S. 36.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says crews Wednesday morning closed the bridge to all traffic. A marked detour route is in place.
In addition, crews have added stop signs at the K-178/St. Benedict Road intersection and 176th Road intersection, making it a four-way stop for all traffic throughout the project.
The current 153-by-26 foot structure is being replaced with a 180-by-36 foot structure.
Scandia, Kansas-based Reece Construction Company is the primary contractor on the more than $950,000 project. The project is scheduled for completion in early September, weather permitting.
