Monday, March 3, the Kansas Department of Transportation plans to start a repair project at the Marias des Cygnes River bridge on the northbound lanes of U.S. 69. The bridge is approximately one mile south of the K-52/U.S. 69 north junction.

Northbound traffic will be reduced to one lane at the work zone. Weather permitting, the work should be completed by the end of May.
