According to the Kansas Department of Transportation work on the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge on U.S. 59 Hwy will cause traffic delays next week.
Lane closures are planned for the eastbound and westbound U.S. 59 right lanes over the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge.
The lanes will be CLOSED, one direction at a time, for bridge inspection work on Monday-Tuesday, April 20-21 between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., weather permitting.
These lane closures are needed so the bridge crews can utilize the snooper vehicle to safely inspect the bridge’s high steel portions of the arch as well as underneath the bridge deck.
Drivers should expect only minor delays and will be directed through the project work zone via cones and signage.
