The Kansas Department of Transportation has begun repairing the bridge deck on northbound I-35 west of Lebo in Coffey County.
The passing lane will be closed, and motorists will be guided to the driving lane by cones and signs. Work includes removing and replacing concrete on the bridge deck.
The bridge, which carries I-35 traffic over Dobbin Road, is expected to reopen to two lanes of traffic by the end of September, conditions permitting.
KDOT urges motorists to stay alert, follow posted signs and refrain from hand-held mobile device use in all active work zones. For current road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 511. For updates on construction projects in southeast Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/projects/southeast-kansas-projects.
