The Kansas Department of Transportation announces approved bids for state highway construction and maintenance projects.
There are two projects in Cherokee County, including a milling and overlay of U.S. 69, from the U.S. 160/U.S. 400 junction north to the Crawford/Cherokee county line, for $3.3 million dollars, and on U.S. 400, from the Riverton roundabout north to the U.S. 160/U.S. 69/U.S. 400 junction, for $2,4 million.
Another project in Coffey County replaces a bridge, located 0.6 mile north and 3.5 miles west of Waverly over the tributary to Sand Creek. The cost of that project is $586 thousand.
