KDOT to replace bridge on U.S. 69

 

 

The week of May 1 the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) expects to start a project to replace the First Cow Creek drainage bridge on the southbound lanes of U.S. 69 in Crawford County. The bridge is 2¼ miles north of the U.S. 69/69A junction at Frontenac.

 

Traffic will be carried through construction on a temporary crossover to the northbound lanes. The speed limit will be reduced to 45 miles per hour and a vehicle width restriction of 12 feet will be in effect. Weather permitting, the new bridge is expected to be open in late 2023.

 

KDOT awarded the construction contract of $1.7 million to Mission Construction Company, Inc., St. Paul, Kansas.
