Kansas Department of Transportation

The Kansas Department of Transportation will start a bridge repair project on the U.S. Highway 83 bridge over the Cimarron River, located north of Liberal in Seward County.

Traffic on U.S. 83 will be reduced to a single lane for the duration of the emergency bridge repair. Until temporary traffic lights are installed, flaggers will be present around the clock to direct traffic through the work zone.

Motorists should anticipate delays of up to 15 minutes and reduce speed when approaching and crossing the bridge. A 10-foot width restriction is in effect for all vehicles. Oversized loads and wider vehicles must seek alternate routes.
