Repair of a bridge over Interstate 135 (I-135) in Salina next week will create daytime lane closures.

On Tuesday, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is scheduled to begin repairing the Magnolia Road bridge over I-135. The work is to repair damage from an earlier accident at the bridge, according to information from KDOT.

There will be daytime lane closures on northbound I-135 during construction, and traffic will be reduced to one 14-foot lane at a reduced speed through the work zone. Drivers should expect minimal delays, not exceeding five minutes, KDOT noted in a news release.

Flame On Inc. of Snohomish, Wash., is the prime contractor and has scheduled this $107,025 project to be completed in mid-May, weather permitting.

KDOT urges all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone.  To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
