K-196 between the cities of Potwin and Whitewater reopened Dec. 14 after a project that replaced three bridges.
That portion of the highway –
from I-135 in Harvey County to K-254 in Butler County – had been closed since
February for the $2,726,000 project.
The new bridges
provide 10-foot-wide shoulders to each lane, replacing structures did not offer
shoulder room for the estimated 2,000 drivers who use them daily.

The bridges are located between Northwest Diamond Road/K-196 Intersection and Northwest Tawakoni Road/K-196. King Construction Company Inc. of Hesston was the primary contractor for the project, which upgraded/replaced Dry Creek Bridge, Whitewater River Bridge and Diamond Creek Bridge.
