(KAIR)--A long-term highway project gets underway in Atchison County, meaning a detour for motorists traveling on K-116 Highway.
According to a release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the box culvert replacement project is located about one-third of a mile west of the K-116/U.S. Highway 59 junction, with K-116 to be closed. Motorists will be routed south to the U.S. 159/U.S. 59 junction, with traffic being controlled through signage and traffic cones.
Pfefferkorn and Drury Construction Company, of Olathe, is the contractor on the $756,000 project.
According to the release, work will occur during daylight hours, Monday to Friday, although some work may take place on Saturdays, as needed.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of July, as weather allows.
