The Kansas Department of Transportation has started work on a bridge replacement project along Kansas 27 in Cheyenne County.

The bridge, which spans Little Beaver Creek, is located approximately 18 miles north of Goodland. Initial work will consist of constructing a shoofly detour to carry traffic around the bridge. Impacts to traffic are expected to be minimal during this phase; however, motorists should remain alert and use caution when traveling through work zones.

Upon completion of the shoofly detour, traffic will be routed around the work zone while demolition and reconstruction take place. KDOT expects the project to be completed in November, conditions permitting.

King Construction of Hesston is the primary contractor with a total contract cost of approximately $2.4 million.
