(KMZA)--A bridge replacement project is scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 5, in Pottawatomie County.

According to a release from the county, a bridge that is more than 90 years old will be replaced on Havensville Road, three-quarters of a mile east of Onaga Road between Sunflower and Trails End Roads.

Havensville Road will be closed at the project location. A detour will not be marked.

The release says the new bridge will be a reinforced concrete haunch slab bridge with a 28-foot roadway width. L&M Contractors, Inc., of Great Bend, is the contractor on the nearly $828,000 project.

Funding through the Kansas Department of Transportation's Cost-Share Program will cover $455,000 of the project cost, with the county responsible for the remainder.

The project is expected to be completed before the end of this year, weather permitting.

The county says Havensville Road is still down to one lane due to an accident in April that damaged a different bridge located one mile east of Onaga Road. Replacement design work is currently being done for that bridge and bid letting for the project will be later this year.
