This week, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) was expected to begin a project to replace the Homer Creek bridge on US 54 Highway in Greenwood County. The bridge is four miles east of the east K-99/U.S. 54 junction.
The bridge will be replaced one half at a time, with temporary signals controlling one-lane traffic at the work zone. Expect brief delays. The new bridge should be open in late 2024.
KDOT awarded the construction contract of $3.8 million to Bridges Inc., of Newton.

Persons with questions may contact Construction Manager Warren Ebberts at 620-901-6549 or Public Affairs Manager Priscilla Petersen at 620902-6433.
