(KAIR)--A Kansas Department of Transportation bridge improvement project on two U.S. 59 bridges is scheduled to start Tuesday, May 27, in Atchison County, weather permitting.

The project includes grading and bridge surfacing work on the U.S. 59 bridge over Stranger Creek, approximately three miles north of K-116, and the U.S. 59 bridge over 262nd Road.

Work at the Stranger Creek bridge will begin first and is expected to be completed in late November. Work at the 262nd Road bridge is scheduled to begin in September and be completed by December 2026.

For the duration of this work, temporary traffic signals will be used to direct single-lane traffic one-way through each bridge work zone. Motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes.

Traffic will be controlled using temporary traffic signals, traffic cones and signs.

Work will occur during daylight hours, Monday through Friday.

Ebert Construction, of Wamego, is the contractor for the $6.96 million project.
