A BIG ROAD CLOSURE TODAY THAT COULD EFFECT YOUR COMMUTE. THE K-68 OVERPASS BRIDGE WILL BE CLOSED TODAY FROM 9:00 THIS MORNING UNTIL 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON FOR MAINTENANCE. ACTING PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DENNIS THARP SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON TWO ISSUES
THE KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAD THE BRIDGE CLOSED FOR NEARLY A YEAR, JUST LAST YEAR FOR REDO THE ROADWAY AND OTHER ISSUES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED TO THE CITY ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT THE REPAIRS DONE WERE NOT SUFFICIENT. CITY OFFICIALS URGE PEOPLE WITH CONCERNS ABOUT THE INITIAL REPAIRS TO CONTACT K-DOT AS IT WAS NOT A CITY REPAIR.
AGAIN, THE K-68 BRIDGE WILL BE CLOSED TODAY FROM 9 TO 4 FOR STRIPING AND WORK ON THE LIGHTS. YOU’LL NEED TO FIND ANOTHER ROUTE OR FOLLOW THE DETOUR SIGNS
