The Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a bridge replacement project today in Neosho County.
A KDOT contractor will start work on the Little Canville Creek Bridge on US-59 between Stark and Moran. The first step in the project will be to construct a temporary bridge to carry traffic around the project. This temporary structure is expected to be complete by October. After that, U.S. 59 traffic will be diverted to the temporary road as the Canville bridge, built in 1959, is removed and replaced. The new bridge is expected to be in place by June 2027.
The $3.6 million project was awarded to Bridges, Inc. of Newton.
