A bridge replacement project is set to begin Thursday ( July 12th ) in Pottawatomie County on the K-99 bridge over Brush Creek about 7 ½ miles north of Wamego. The Kansas Department of Transportation says the existing 24-foot wide reinforced concrete deck T-girder bridge will be replaced with a 40-foot wide reinforced concrete haunched slab structure. The new bridge will include two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders. Work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work. Beginning early Monday morning ( July 16th ) traffic over the bridge will be reduced to one lane. Traffic will be directed, 24/7 round the clock, across the bridge by traffic signals located at either end of the bridge. There will be a posted speed limit of 45 mph and an 11-foot width restriction throughout the entire project work zone. Drivers should expect some delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes, if possible. King Construction Inc. of Hesston is the primary contractor on the nearly $860,000 project, which is scheduled for completion in late December, weather permitting.
