Urgent Bridge Replacement Starts on U.S. 56 in Rice County

UPDATE: The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has just announced that a critical bridge replacement project on U.S. 56 in Rice County will begin the week of October 13, 2023. Originally slated for September, this urgent construction involves replacing an aging box culvert-style bridge located just south of the city of Chase, specifically between 7th and 8th roads.

The existing bridge has reached the end of its useful life and requires immediate attention. The lead contractor, Reece Construction of Salina, is set to undertake this $1.8 million project, which is anticipated to be completed by spring 2026.

Motorists traveling through the area should brace for significant changes. During construction, traffic will be reduced to a single lane in the work zone, controlled by temporary traffic signals. Delays of up to 15 minutes are expected, and drivers will need to slow down and prepare to stop.

This project is crucial not only for maintaining infrastructure safety but also for ensuring smooth traffic flow in the region. Local residents and commuters are urged to plan their routes accordingly to avoid potential setbacks.

For up-to-date road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 511. To stay informed about ongoing construction projects in South Central Kansas, check ksdot.gov/southcentralnews.

Stay tuned for updates as this project progresses and impacts daily travel in Rice County.
