The Kansas Department of Transportation announced in a press release that it expects to start a project the week of April 14 replacing the Crooked Creek bridge on K-58, east of Le Roy.
The bridge will be closed to traffic Wednesday, April 16. Traffic will follow a signed state detour on U.S. 75, U.S. 54, U.S. 169 and K-58. Weather permitting, the new bridge should be open to traffic by late October.
KDOT awarded the construction contract of $2.3 million to B&B Bridge Company of St. Paul.
