ARLINGTON, Kan. — Arlington Road will reopen again east of Arlington after being closed for about eight months for a bridge construction project. There will be a small ceremony this morning at
10 a.m. to celebrate the opening.
Arlington Mayor Doug Smith and county officials will be on-hand to officially open the bridge.
The bridge, located just east of Arlington, was replaced after it failed to meet current legal load standards.
The new 196-foot-long span cost $1,526,350. Reno County did receive a KDOT Cost Share for the bridge, so the cost to the county was $732,796. Construction on the bridge started in December of last year and was just completed.
