A major rerouting of U.S. 54 in Allen County is set to begin in June.
The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin work on a project to replace the U.S. 54 bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad at Moran beginning on Jun 1st. The overpass is one-quarter mile east of the U.S. 54/U.S. 59 junction. The highway will be closed in the work zone. U.S. 54 traffic will be placed on a state route detour along U.S. 59, K-31, and K-3.
KDOT awarded the nearly $4 million construction contract to A.M. Cohron & Son Inc, of Atlantic, Iowa. Weather permitting, the project should be completed early next year.
