K-27 bridge repair project underway in Wallace County

The Kansas Department of Transportation has started a bridge repair project on K-27 over the Smoky Hill River in Wallace County.

The bridge is located approximately 2.5 miles north of Sharon Springs. Traffic is reduced to a single lane over the bridge with an 11-foot width restriction and directed by a temporary traffic signal.

KDOT expects project work to be complete in August, conditions permitting.

Reece Construction, of Salina, is the project’s primary contractor with a total contract cost of approximately $3 million. For more information, please contact KDOT Area Construction Manager Todd Anderson at 785-953-6011 or todd.anderson@ks.gov.
