JEFFERSON COUNTY (KSNT) - A repair project on a bridge over Perry Lake will cause drivers to take a 25-mile detour for nine months.
Starting Tuesday, Sept. 3, a bridge repair project will close part of K-900 near Perry Lake State Park, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). The agency said Rock Creek bridge in the state park will be closed to traffic throughout the duration of the project.
KDOT said drivers can follow the signed, nearly 26-mile detour that is on K-237, U.S. 24 and K-4, or use alternate routes that are not marked.
Repair work is expected to take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be wrapped up by May, 2025.
