(KAIR) -- Bridge deck work continues on pace for the new Amelia Earhart Bridge, crossing the Missouri River near Atchison.
Arch anchors were recently removed and KDOT Spokeswoman Kim Qualls says they are still expecting the bridge to be open to traffic in late September.
No delays have come about in the past couple of months, but due to the heat, Qualls says workers have had to alter their schedules, not only for the bridge, but other projects as well.
