LYONS, Kan. — The Kansas Department of Transportation announced Monday that work is expected to start later this month on a $4.3 million replacement of a K-14 bridge in Rice County.
The project involves the Cow Creek drainage bridge about 10 miles north of the Reno County line — between Sterling and Lyons. The work also will include grading and surfacing. The construction is expected to be completed around the end of June 2023.
The new bridge will be built just off the existing K-14 alignment. Motorists will continue to use the existing bridge during the project.
During the work, motorists will be directed to drive at a reduced speed through the work zone. Later in the project, traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled by traffic signals.
King Construction of Hesston is the primary contractor for the $4,321,593 project.
