Beginning Wednesday, the Kansas Department of Transportation is scheduled to repair four bridges along Interstate 135 in Saline County.
One of the bridges is located just south of Kansas Highway 140 (State Street exit) and three are located up to one mile north of K-140.
During the first phase of construction, the southbound I-135 ramp from K-140/State Street will be closed, traffic will follow a signed detour. Traffic on I-135 will be reduced to one 13.5-foot lane at a reduced speed through all four bridge repairs.
Drivers should expect minimal delays, not exceeding five minutes.
APAC-Kansas Inc. of Hutchinson is the prime contractor for the $1.1 million bridge repair project, which is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2022, weather permitting.
