KDOT to start K-96 bridge work Saturday

(WICHITA, Kan.) — A Kansas Department of Transportation project for bridge repairs on four K-96 bridges will begin Saturday, August 4 and a ramp from Kellogg will close for 10 days.

The bridges are located in east Wichita and include the Central and 127th Street E. bridges over K-96 plus the eastbound and westbound K-96 bridges over Kellogg.

The eastbound Kellogg ramp to westbound K-96 closure will begin Saturday and continue for 10 days while repairs are made on the westbound K-96 bridge over Kellogg.

No detour will be posted; drivers will need to use an alternate route.

Work is likely to begin on the Central and 127th St. bridges soon and traffic will be reduced to single lanes in each direction on the bridges.

A ten day complete closure of the eastbound K-96 bridge over Kellogg is planned to begin on Saturday, August 18.

A detour will be posted.

The repairs include patching the bridge decks and overlaying new deck surfaces.
