More than $5 million of highway projects approved in July letting

Ten highway, bridge and maintenance projects across the state have been approved as part of the July 22, 2015, construction letting totaling more than $5.7 million.

One project in particular will improve the traffic flow at the K-258/U.S. 24 junction in Rooks County just north of Webster Lake.

The work will involve removing the existing bridge at the K-258/U.S. 24 junction and realigning the existing K-258 to an at-grade intersection.

APAC Shears Division of Hutchinson is the prime contractor on the $1.7 million project.
