The Kansas Department of Transportation begins a mudjacking project on bridges in Allen, Greenwood, Neosho, and Wilson counties.

 

Mudjacking is a process that improves the transition from the road to a bridge by using by using polyurethane foam to raise and level concrete bridge approach slabs and highway/shoulder panels. The project begins today at six locations across the four counties including on US-75 west of Neodesha, on the Fall River Bridge on US-400 near Fall River, on the Fall River B Ridge on US-54 near Eureka. Work in Allen County will occur in two locations on US-169, the first being just south of the US-54 junction and the second located four miles north of K-39. In Neosho County, construction will occur on K-47, west of St. Paul.

 

Traffic will be reduced to one lane through the work zones and may be guided by a pilot car in some locations. Drivers can expect brief delays, with Saturday work possible.

 

The project is expected to be completed by mid-April.
