KDOT Bridge Replacement Project in Rush Center Begins This Month

The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a bridge replacement project on U.S. 183 just south of the K-96 junction in Rush Center on Monday, March 16, conditions permitting.

Work will occur Monday through Friday during daylight hours. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction head-to-head with an 11-foot width restriction and a 150-foot length restriction. Side streets will be closed at U.S. 183.

Wildcat Construction of Wichita (who won the bid as Klaver Construction) is the prime contractor on the $2.5 million project, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs in all work zones. For current road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 511. For updates on construction projects in South Central Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/southcentralnews.
