KDOT announces closure of K-39 bridge in Bourbon County beginning July 11

BOURBON COUNTY, Kan. – The Kansas Department of Transportation announced its plans to begin replacing a bridge on K-39 in Bourbon County.

KDOT says the project will begin on Monday, July 11th.

Officials say the bridge spans Flat Rock Creek and is approximately 3 miles east of the Neosho-Bourbon county line.

KDOT shared the impending traffic implications:

• K-39 traffic will be placed on a state route detour around the work zone.
• Eastbound traffic will detour north on U.S. 59 to U.S. 54, then east to K-3 and south to K-39.
• Westbound K-39 traffic should follow the same route in the opposite direction.

KDOT officials say they awarded the $722,897 construction contract to Killough Construction Inc.
